The Chennai Metro, which has launched share auto and share cab facilities in some of its stations in August last year to improve last-mile connectivity, has said over 3 lakh commuters have utilised these services. Close to 90 thousand commuters utilised its last-mile connectivity option in March and April. Share autos were priced at Rs 5 and share cabs were priced at Rs 10 for three kilometres from select metro stations.
Meanwhile, after people began a petition against the Chennai Metro Rail Limited's (CMRL) reported plans to take over Panagal Park in T Nagar to build a subway station, authorities have clarified that there is no such plan in the pipeline. They further alleged that this was a lie spread to malign the image of the CMRL.
