In the near future, commuters who wish to get to Anna Salai from the Inner Ring Road or 100 Feet Road may be able to take direct Metro trains, which would save their transit time and effort.
Officials of Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. (CMRL) said they are investigating the potential of operating direct trains from stations along the Inner Ring Road to stations in Anna Salai. commuters currently change trains at Alandur
Any commuter who boards a train at a station like Koyambedu, Vadapalani, or Ekkatuthangal would be able to go to Guindy, Saidapet, Teynampet, or Nandanam in Anna Salai without changing trains at Alandur if this new strategy is put into effect.
