Taxi fare, Autos crashed into the roof in Chennai

Chennai: Taxi fare and autorickshaw shooting through the roof after heavy rains crippling the city transportation network on Sunday.
While the suburban train is not operated all day, only 10% of government buses remain on the road in the city.
Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC), Chennai, usually operates 3,100 buses every day, but on Sundays, only 400 buses operate.
Even those who are on the road cannot complete their journey because of the transfer of traffic and subway closure.
As a result, demand for cars and cabins soared.
Rates for longer trips are at least 200% higher than ordinary rates.
For example, the taxi demands Rs.
500 to travel to Tambaram from Madipakkam.
Usually, the price is less than Rs.300 even during rush hour, Raghu said, a resident of Madipakkam.
Because the South Railway transfers the departure of certain distance trains from the central station to Thiruvallur, Avadi, the coast, Thiruvottiyur and Pankur, many passengers have no choice but to pay bombs for autorickshaw and taxis.
The train departure is delayed at least three to four hours at the center.
“Some commuters suffer because there is no reliable assistance to provide info about the status of the suburban train,” said T Sadagopan, a resident activist from Avadi.
State Express Transport Corporation (SETC) and six other Statembransport companies managed to operate more than 16,000 buses to Chennai from other parts of the country.
The Chairperson of the Constitutional Court of MK Stalin asked people not to rush back to Chennai because of the more rainy predictions for the next two days.
At the airport, all flights are operated on schedule, but many passengers skip flights because they cannot reach the airport.
