In celebration of World Public Transport Day, an IT professional shares her daily long commute home. Here’s Dipikaa’s experience with the Chennai MRTS. She typically carpools with friends to the nearest MRTS station from her workplace.
Dipikaa prefers the MRTS due to its affordability and the reliability of its punctual trains. She appreciates the luxury to enjoy the stunning sunset alongside the city skyline while arriving home early. During her commute, she loves listening to music and catching up on her social media. If she opted for private transport, her travel time would increase by an hour due to peak hour traffic.
Each trip on public transport not only saves her money and time but also benefits her health. It’s also pocket friendly - Dipikaa's ride of 20 km cost her Rs 34.
