NO MAPS * India - For Bus Routes in Chennai
Did you know that close to 73% of chennai-ites take the bus as their primary mode of transport?
Chennai,India -Chennai Metblogs, by vijayanand -Mar 16, 2008: -- The Chennai Metro Transport System has about 540+ routes, a hundred or more extension routes and I believe a fleet of 2000+ buses. There are 200 new buses coming in every month, as the old ones are being slowly taken out of service... If you have seen the scrolling LEDs and the fancy new Volvos, thats the face of the Chennai Transport System. Pretty slick I must say... But our interest in wanting to map the bus routes of the city so that the 73%, along with the new folks who come to the city can know which route will take them to which part of the city. Unfortunately part is that there is no digital data available with the Chennai Transport Department on this. One suggestion was to go talk to the drivers and conductors with a map and get the routes drawn on a blank Chennai map. Hmm… 540 routes+ in that methodology is definitely going to take its time... But I think its an effort worth the time, and something that the city and the office will greatly benefit from...
