Passengers struggle for local transport

With MTC buses off the road, people were at the mercy of autorickshaw drivers
A large number of passengers, who arrived by long-distance trains, had a tough time in reaching their destination with the buses of the Metropolitan Transport Corporation, Chennai (MTC) staying off the road in view of the lockdown on Sunday. Those without personal transport had to bargain hard with the fleecing autorickshaw drivers at Chennai Central and Egmore railway stations.
Although minimum number of suburban and Metro trains were operated, the absence of MTC buses left a large number of passengers stranded.
The taxi aggregators — Uber and Ola — plied on their misery.
