I think a long way to go for that..Atleast 10 years from now..

LORRIES are the major head-ache of Madurai..Need a seperate-wing to control them n make them follow the rules..
to officials who got money n allowed them illegally..

[Madurai gilli]

1. TPK-Periar-Arapalayam-Samayanallur-Vadipatti. - OK Good route

2. Thirumangalam-Thirunagar-TPK-Avaniapuram-Theppakulam-Anna Nagar-Mattuthavani. - As already Tirumangalam - MIBT buses ply in regular routes, this may create confusions, so it may limit upto Anna nagar/to other new areas.

3. Thirumangalam-Periar-Arapalayam-Samayanallur - Nice route

4. Palanganatham-By Pass Rd-Fathima College-Sellur-Goripalayam-Court-Mattuthavani - Nice route

5. Arapalayam-Simmakkal-Anna bus stand-KK Nagar-Mattuthavani - already there..

6. Arapalayam-Goripalayam-Thapal Thanthi Nagar - Nice route

7. Arapalayam-Goripalayam-Pudhur-Surveyor Colony-Alagarkovil - Very good route

8. Anna Nagar - KK Nagar - Mattuthavani - Surveyor Colony - Kallandhiri - Alagarkovil(this will give direct connection bw anna nagar/mattuthavani with Alagarkovil). - Good route

[Madurai gilli]

1. Arapalayam-By Pass rd-Periar/Crimebranch - Therkuvasal - Theppakulam - Anna nagar - Already there with simmakal ..so the same bus with dif. route will create confusions..

2. Arapalayam-Periar-TPK-Avaniapuram-Airport.. we have one new bus introduced in this route starting from periar.. route no is 5X. - Actually, 5X plan is really senseless..That bus was a big failiure and wondering how TNSTC manages to run the empty buses daily in this route..Arapalayam - Airport via periyar is already there..Good patronage - Instead they may take this route but should bypass Periyar and reach arapalayam via bye-pass rd.

3. Periar - Vasantha Nagar - By Pass road - Arapalayam - Sellur - Pudhur (help in getting pudhur connectivity) - why should they come in west and come back to east ? Instead we may try vadipatti - Pudur route or samayanalullur - azhagarkoil via sellur

Route 2 will not create any confusions because, we already have 49M(Thirumangalam to MIBT via theppakulam, Anna Nagar) and 48AI(via pudhur). This will create new connection with avaniapuram and near by areas with Thirumangalam, Kappalur and Tirunagar.

Route no 5: i dont think so a similar route exists.. we have buses from Arapalayam to anna nagar(77) and vandiyur(77A).. and they dont touch KK Nagar Area and lake view rd.. But this may not be useful like other roads..

Except route no 5 all others really needed..

We have some routes similar to route no 1...

We can remove route no 2.. We can make that as Arapalayam-Periar-TPK-Nilayur ( No direct route to nilayur with arapalayam exists now)

i agree with you on route no 3.. That may be changed based on ur suggestions.. we can add

Vadipatti - pudhur via sellur/arapalayam is nice route

Samayanallur-Sellur-Thallakulam-Pudhur-Kallandhiri-Alagarkovil

Samayanallur-Sellur-Pudhur-Matthuthavani..

[srinivas]

now the omni bus stand which is gonna get shifted to MIBT and lorry parking area near MIBT will crowd the MELUR road. MC should take steps to 4 lane melur road .

Please Comment Guys..How far these routes are worth ?

[Madurai gilli]

From Madurai South-Airport region...There are thousands of workers going to work and returning at mid-night by so-called mid-shift in many industries like TVS Srichakra, TVS-Firestones, TVS-Rubber,TVS-Sundaram,TVS-Cherry,Fenner India & so-many..Mostly all the TVS Industries have the Mid-shift which starts at 3:00 pm and ends at 11pm..

These people use the night services till SouthGate and they walked to their places initially..Seeing their strength, so many share-autos in night are now using the situation asking Rs.10-15/head at night for just 5 kms upto Avaniyapuram..So,It will be better if TNSTC-Mdu operates a night-service bus each-one from Periyar and MIBT to Avaniyapuram at night..

[Madurai gilli]

Why can't the MC think of creating new city Bus-stands in its suburbs like
Avaniyapuram
Koodal Nagar
Tirunagar
Anna Nagar
Kappalur,
Vilangudi,
Thirupalai,
High-court etc.. so that the new-buses can be started from any of these places avoiding Periyar to reduce the congestion..

Chennai is having good city bus-stands well planned at :

Avadi
Ambattur
AnnaNagar
Adayar
Tiruvanmiyur
Poonamallee
Vadapalani
Tambaram
Velacherry
Saidapet etc.

Why can't such bus-stands created in Madurai ? MC should think in a distant vision..

I wonder why the NS buses are poorly planned in CBE..But the reason is private buses whereas Madurai and chennai keep the Govt buses only for City routes..Appreciable..

We have more night service routes..

Route No: N77B
MIBT - Arapalayam via Simmakkal, Goripalayam -> high frequency route

Route No: N4C
Arapalayam - Mattuthavani via periar, therku vasal, Anna nagar - 2 or 3 buses are used at nite

Route no: N48
Arapalayam - Thirumangalam via periar, TPK -> 2nd highest freq next to N77B

Arapalayam - Periar - 1 or buses are used..

I dont think so we have separate NS route in MIBT-Palanganatham.. i'll check for MIBT - Periar..

i read in news papers that they are going to introduce one bus in 4(Arapalayam to Viraganur ring road route)

they can try one MIBT - Thirumangalam night service too..

1. Nice route.. this gives nice connection from Avaniapuram..
2. Gud route.. this can be extended till periar..
3. Really a gud route..
4. This will give gud connection for few areas with Thirumangalam..
5. Provides nice connection
6. First they should try connecting Usilampatti with Periar.. later they can try this route..
7. They can give a trial for this route.. if this worked out, they should try connecting other near by places like Dindigul, sivakasi with periar.
8. May not be feasible.. They already tried having Thirunagar -Melur(75D) route.. But it is stopped now..
9. Can be extended till pudhur via KK Nagar.
10. Is this route really needed? we have kariapatti connections with anna bus stand already..
12. A much needed route.
13. Route no 13 already exists till T. Kallupatti.. No is 48 AG.
14. We have one route as 5T.. MIBT-Thppur.. route no 14 can start from Anna nagar via therku vasal.

[Madurai gilli]

8. May not be feasible.. They already tried having Thirunagar -Melur(75D) route.. But it is stopped now..

No..I hope this route to be one of the most successful route if they try it..

Bcz this stretch is completely industrial and commercial corridor with a bulk of residential areas..I dono why they withdrawn the Tirunagar-Melur route...But I am 100% sure that Tirumangalam - Periyar - MIBT - Melur will work out to a greater level..Buses should be SLF with limited stops..

Is this route really needed? we have kariapatti connections with anna bus stand already..

I don think that Kariapatti has direct connection with GRH ...It has innumerate buses from Periyar and some moffusil buses from MIBT..This buses will help these region people to come to GRH directly without any trouble..

[Madurai gilli]

A Circle-Bus can be made in this route so that TNSTC-Mdu find new routes and serve these areas people well..Instead of having routes like 5x : Periyar - TPK - AVP- Airport..they can try a circle bus in this route which will help a lot..

Tiruparankundram - Pasumalai - Pykara - Palanganatham - Byepass rd - Arapalayam - Periyar - SouthGate - Avaniyapuram - Tiruparankundram

* This route will really benefit the AVP,Villapuram,Pamban nagar people to get a direct connction to Pasumalai,Palanganatham,Byepasss rd..They can also get another added services to TPK,Arapalayam etc..

* This route will also give a direct connection to TPK with Arapalayam, Bethaniapuram,Arasaradi etc..

A lot-more benefits will come from this routes by utilising the less-used Byepass road, AVP-TPK road etc..

i dont think so all 300 buses arrived at madurai..Few buses parked inside Pasumalai workshop and TNSTC HO in by pass road.. To my knowledge all are AL SLF buses..
