How Chennai Moves | Inside the City's Public Transport

Chennai is quietly building one of India’s most integrated public transport systems — and it’s happening without flashy announcements or grand claims. From one of the country’s busiest suburban rail networks to a steadily expanding metro and a bus system that moves millions every day, Chennai’s mobility story is rooted in scale, affordability, and connection. This is a city where public transport is not an alternative — it’s the default. In this episode of The Climate Brief, we look at how Chennai is stitching its transport network together. Low fares keep travel accessible. Electric buses are reducing emissions while carrying more people per trip. Interchanges at major hubs are getting smoother. And a unified mobility app promises to bring buses, metro, suburban rail — and even last-mile options — into a single system. The city still has challenges. Ageing fleets need renewal. Last-mile connectivity remains uneven. Capacity will need to grow as demand rises. But the direction is clear. Chennai isn’t just adding more tracks or buses. It’s working towards a system where different modes actually work together — not in silos. The real test ahead is whether buses continue to be strengthened as the backbone that connects rail, metro, and neighbourhoods — especially for the millions who depend on public transport every single day. Watch till the end to understand why Chennai’s approach matters — not just for one city, but for how India moves. #chennai #chennainews #chennaibus #chennaitrain #chennaimetro #chennaiexpress #india #indiancities #theclimatebrief #publictransport #mtc #chennaicity #commute #transportsystem #climatecrisis #urbanplanning #best #climatecontrol #environmentalchange #southindia #buses
