I took the MRTS for the first time 10 days ago. I've been wanting to do this for a few years, but didn't get around to it. So a couple of Sundays ago, I took the train from Kasturba Nagar/Madhya Kailash Station to Park Town (Central Station). Took me all of 17 minutes to get to the destination!! Fantastic! Especially knowing it takes me an hour these days to travel by car from T.Nagar to Besant Nagar in peak hour traffic!
I clicked some pictures. Interesting view of the city from an elevated platform....
View from Kotturpuram. The Adyar Bridge can be seen.
A flute-seller in one of the stations.
Passing through Mylapore...
The train travels right behind the Marina Grounds, a popular venue for cricket matches.
View of the Chepauk Palace (?)
The Cooum River....the Napier Bridge can be seen in the distance.
Probably, the most famous landmark in Chennai!!Am amazed that the government is not doing enough to promote MRTS....this is definitely the future! The badly maintained, tourist-and-traveller-unfriendly stations hardly inspire confidence for a city that is supposed to be the gateway to the South.
Neverthless, I recommend a trip for all those who haven't tried it so far!
