The Chennai Central metro project is one of the most awaited by commuters from Egmore. The reason being that many trains depart from Tamil Nadu from the main stations; besides the Egmore bus terminus in the vicinity attracts large number of commuters. At the Egmore suburban railway junction over one lakh commuters come on a daily basis.

With the new metro line at the Central line project now catching momentum, commuters are hoping for a hassel free travel from the suburban railway station. The commute though costly will save a lot of time and also help in streamlining the traffic in the area. With metro rail just walking distance from the railway station, travellers can off board the train and take metro to their desired route within few minutes.
