Among the ambitious plans that Chennai Metro Rail Limited made for building a mass rapid transit system, there are some projects that commuters wait for with bated breath. Around the same time Chennai Metro Rail conducted a study for the Airport-Kilambakkam extension project to link the city with the southern suburbs of Pallavaram, Tambaram, and Kilambakkam, another study was done for linking Tambaram with Velachery. Link to Phase II Sources said they were exploring ways to connect the Tambaram-Velachery line with the Phase II project and the Airport-Kilambakkam line. If they build this mass rapid transit system and if it is connected with the phase II network and the Airport-Kilambakkam line, someone working in the IT sector who wants to go to Tambaram can take a train from Sholinganallur, switch trains at Medavakkam, and travel all the way to Tambaram faster.
