Kuthambakkam Bus Terminal Set to Open Under Public-Private Partnership
Imagine a brand-new bus station, like a super-sized waiting room, is about to open!
It's being built in Kuthambakkam, and it's going to be a big deal for buses going west.
The government is working with a private company to run it.
This company will handle things like parking, shops, and making sure everything runs smoothly.
The station has lots of parking spots for buses, shops for people to visit, and places to rest.
Before the station officially opens, there will be a trial run to make sure everything works perfectly.
The Kuthambakkam mofussil bus terminal is set to open soon.
The project is worth 414-crore and located near Thiruvallur.
