Network guide
Chennai Metro — commuter guide
Essential information for planning travel on Chennai Metro.
Chennai Metro Network
Chennai Metro Rail operates two lines under CMRL. The Blue Line (Line 1) connects Chennai Airport to Wimco Nagar, with an underground section through the city core between Nehru Park and Chennai Central. The Green Line (Line 2) runs from Chennai Central to St. Thomas Mount with a mix of underground and elevated sections. Both lines were designed for integration at Alandur, which serves as the system's primary interchange station. The network connects Chennai's airport, two major railway terminals, and the central bus terminus.
Key areas connected
Chennai International Airport (Blue Line terminal), St. Thomas Mount (southern elevated section), Guindy industrial estate and SIDCO, Alandur (interchange zone), Little Mount, Saidapet, Chennai Central MGR railway terminus, Egmore railway terminus and Egmore medical zone, Nehru Park, Thousand Lights, Anna Salai commercial strip, Koyambedu CMBT (wholesale markets and interstate bus terminus), Arumbakkam, CMBT area, Wimco Nagar (northern terminal).
Airport, railway and bus connectivity
Chennai International Airport is served by Chennai Airport Metro Station on the Blue Line, connected to the domestic and international terminal via a walkolator-equipped covered corridor. MGR Chennai Central Metro Station connects directly to the Chennai Central railway terminus via underground subways. The Koyambedu station is adjacent to the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT), the largest bus terminal in Asia by capacity, handling interstate and city bus routes.
Interchange stations
Alandur is the only operational interchange between Chennai Metro's Blue and Green Lines. It handles transfers for travellers moving between the airport corridor and the Central/St. Thomas Mount corridor. The design is at-grade elevated, with separate platforms for each line connected by a common concourse. MGR Chennai Central also serves as a transfer point for passengers arriving from Egmore on the MRTS commuter rail who wish to continue on the metro.

Commuter insights
Chennai Metro's underground section beneath the city core is notably quieter than the elevated suburban sections. The airport terminal connector uses a moving walkway (walkolator) to close the distance between the metro concourse and the terminal building — useful when carrying luggage. Phase 2 expansion (125 km) is under construction and will significantly extend reach to Sholinganallur, Poonamallee, and SIPCOT.
