Process Paralysis
- Outer ring road from Maduravoil to Perungulathur
- 100 Feet road [jawaharlal Nehru road] and come via Guindy, Tambaram and proceed to perungulathur.
It takes an hour or even more if we take the route 2 depending on the Traffic. It takes only 1/2 hour to come down to Perungulathur via route 1. Most private buses take the route 1.
The south bound long distance buses fills up only the seats and they don’t allow any standing passengers as the traveling time will be more than 8 hours. The Government buses even though their seats are filled have to comes down the route 2 and the conductor has to inform / sign the booths located @ Ashok Pillar , Guindy , Pallavaram and Tambaram. This process seems to be a waste of time and enery for every one in the Bus.
With the advent of lots and lots of technology, don’t we have a simple methodology to inform the different booths that so and so bus is filled and is going to move via route 1.
Any one have any idea why such a kind of unproductive process are still followed out in Government buses. We can save a lot of fuel + time by changing this.

They also add a lot to the already heavy Chennai traffic - especially on the eves of long weekends. I hate driving near Pallavaram on these days. Long route buses can have only two boarding points - Koyambedu and Perungalathur. (I guess Madurai has a similar approach)

I guess you need to reverse the routes order.
