The entire fleet is on standby, says Transport Secretary
Hours after the Tamil Nadu government allowed long-distance buses to run ahead of the full-fledged lockdown, passengers started trickling into the Dr. MGR Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT) to travel to their home towns. The government has announced the operation of 1,500 buses from Chennai and of over 3,000 buses between Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Tiruchi, Madurai and other districts on Saturday and Sunday. MTC buses will ferry people to Tambaram and the CMBT. “We have our entire fleet on standby, and are ready to meet the rush. We have a sufficient number of buses from districts like Kanniyakumari to Chennai. This is mainly to ensure that no one, especially daily-wage workers, are stuck in the city or elsewhere and able to reach their home towns. At short notice, we called our crew members back and started operations,” Transport Secretary C. Samayamoorthy said.
