The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is set to develop two significant multi-modal transit hubs at Mint Street-Washermenpet and Chepauk-Marina, with a total estimated cost of ₹40 crore (approximately $4.8 million USD). These hubs are designed to connect metro rail, suburban trains, buses, and last-mile services, addressing the ongoing challenges of poor pedestrian access and chaotic traffic in Chennai. The Mint Street-Washermenpet hub will cater to heavy passenger movement due to nearby wholesale markets and residential areas, while the Chepauk-Marina hub will serve educational institutions, government offices, and sports venues. The project will feature improved walkways, designated pick-up and drop-off points, cycling infrastructure, and public spaces to enhance commuter experience. Urban planners highlight that the full benefits of Chennai's expanding metro network can only be realized if commuters have seamless access to stations through various transport modes.
