@UpdatesChennai Appadiyum, they manage to get at least 2 MLAs every time. Commies are a curse to the country

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@UpdatesChennai Admire your positivity. You are still hopeful that Chennai would get its second airport? Very unlikely because 'activists' would keep opposing wherever it's proposed. By that time Chitoor/Tirupati will have an international airport

@aerowanderer @ChennaiTraffic @chennaicorp Sharing some videos on Pondy Bazaar stretch right after the police station. Just one lane is left for passing through vehicles daily. Such a nightmare this stretch is

@UpdatesChennai Idhukku nera Bangalore Vande Bharat illati Shatabdi eduthu, connecting flight catch pannalam. By the time this airport comes, we will the Chennai - Bangalore HSR, which will further cut travel time. Also, Bangalore airport will get a Metro connectivity

@UpdatesChennai Let's call it Pondy International Airport as and when it happens

@UpdatesChennai Innum konjam kaalam dhaan, then Spain colours

@UpdatesChennai @chennaicorp @sameerangs @CMOTamilnadu This and unauthorised parking by both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, wrong side riding. Pondy Bazaar is such a mess. The pavements are damaged at many places and that stretch is filled with beggars and transgenders

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@UpdatesChennai Looks like Chennai is just a dumpyard for maintenance

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@GMSRailway Yes, please. Don't be selective. Reserved coaches are for reserved people, not for every Tom, Dick and Harry. How about taking action against those ticketless travellers on reserved sleeper and AC coaches. Am sure railways and their officials don't have an answer

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@GMSRailway haha, one side railways claims that tracks are being upgraded, and on the other, trains are being slowed down

@UpdatesChennai @CMOTamilnadu @Keerthana4VNR Seriously after all this, i just wonder if we really need a second airport.

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@brahmmajoshi @Sanjay_IRTS Shucks. Any other station selling them?

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@brahmmajoshi @Sanjay_IRTS does Nandiyambakkam still sell these tickets? Planning another pilgrimage if they do

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@brahmmajoshi Yesterday, i boarded 12008 at SBC. Since one of the railway officers claimed that passengers should arrive 30 minutes to one hour early, i reached at 3.15pm for the 4.05 train, but the train came at 4.32pm. Basically, these officers make a fool of the passengers

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@UpdatesChennai So, no farmlands and farmers will be affected? Cheyyur propose panradhuku, second airport plan for Chennai can very well be dropped. Let's be content with Meenambakkam itself

[Tadiparthi Francis⚓ @GentlemanOfMCC]

@brahmmajoshi Chennaiku only bullock carts. Farming and farmlands are crucial to the state's development, not industries and IT. People can go to Bangalore and Hyderabad if they want high end jobs, else do farming

Increasing speed is not at all an issue, running trains on time is. Which train reaches the intermediate stations before or in time, unless there's a huge buffer. Railways doesn't care about delays in intermediate stations

[Indian Infra Report @Indianinfoguide]

🚨Indian Railways is planning to increase the maximum speed of 350 to 400 Mail, Express, and Superfast trains from 110 kmph to 130 kmph on eligible routes.

@venkat_fin9 @apsrtc @ncbn @naralokesh Faced a similar situation last night from Vijayawada to Hyderabad. It was an Amaravati multi axle Volvo bus, but it was the most stinking, poorly maintained, noisiest Volvo bus i ever travelled in. I paid 900 plus
