THE JOURNEY
Where are you headed?
Route calculations stay in this tab. Map images and advertisements use external services.
Route coverage & travel information
41 Metro stations with source-checked fares · 28 south suburban stops · 20 MRTS stops. Search also includes 540 source-listed Tamil Nadu railway records. A search result alone does not confirm a passenger service.
For north/west suburban routes, other Tamil Nadu rail journeys, railway fares and current service updates, check Indian Railways. Adambakkam is excluded from boarding routes here: the March 2026 notice deferred its stop, and a later opening has not been confirmed in this guide.
Official sources & travel informationA few useful answers
Is the monthly estimate a pass?
No. It multiplies verified Metro single-journey fares by your travel days. CMRL discontinued its one-day and 30-day tourist cards from 1 February 2025. Railway season tickets are a different product.
Can I use this for a train arrival?
Please check the operator’s current updates and station displays for arrivals, platforms and service changes. This planner does not provide live information or guarantee a through train.
How do I check the fare from Tambaram?
Tambaram’s railway connection is shown here. For railway fares, including season tickets, check RailOne or a railway counter. Metro fares apply only to Metro journeys.
Which Central station should I select?
Central Metro, Chennai Central mainline (MAS), Central suburban terminal (MASS), Park (MPK) and Park Town (MPKT) are separate places. Transfer legs explicitly show walking access.
Where can I learn how to buy a ticket?
Open Tickets & passes for an overview of ticket options, buying guidance and official links. Follow the operator’s current instructions when purchasing.
