Arun,

You need to update the link to the Map. CMRL has changed the name of the pdf.

The new link is: http://www.chennaimetrorail.gov.in/tenders/project_brief_updated_aug08.pdf

Hey,

If I’m not wrong, I have met you in CPC trip to Gingee. I have a map of Chicago (has both bus & Rail system in detail). Its a very useful and informative one.

You can try something similar to that.

Drop me a mail. I will give you more details.

@dynesh
not too many parts are underground, and anyhow if i were to include that info at the present scale, it could become a bit cluttered. once exact alignment is know maybe i might make a dmrc style detailed map.

@ms.jen
if newspapers are to be beleived, then the system could be in operation within 6 years at the earliest.

@ravages
petition eh? About the business op, this layout is probably the best one anyone can do, so yep there is good potential to sell this. But right now, since the metro is only on paper (no pun intended), its not of much practical use.

The map version on their website does resemble cat puke, but blurry cat puke.

I like your version.

When are they going to finish the line out to the airport? That would be super useful.

And does no one in the public sector know how to put up a map? you could make a killing if they started outsourcing this stuff…

So that’s the end of the line for the rest of the MRTS then? (Bad Pun intended) IIRC the original alignment of MRTS phase 4 was further out west. I would have liked to have seen a metro line going through
T Nagar/Saidapet and onto Adayar/Thiruvanmiyur and then out onto the OMR. Of course the costs would have skyrocketed cos it would need a substantial underground section. Speaking of which, any chance you might highlight the underground section seperately (like the DMRC map?) Is it just the georgetown section?
