Calling all passengers who book their tickets on Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) buses! We're excited to announce a new connecting ticket option that allows you to seamlessly travel between your booked route and other locations within Chennai city.

What is a Connecting Ticket?

A connecting ticket is an add-on to your existing TNSTC bus ticket that allows you to connect to another TNSTC bus within Chennai city. This means that you can book your main ticket from, say, Madurai to Chennai, and then purchase a connecting ticket to travel from the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT) to your final destination within Chennai, such as T Nagar or Anna Nagar.

Benefits of Connecting Tickets:

  • Convenience: Seamlessly connect to other locations within Chennai without the hassle of booking separate tickets.
  • Time-Saving: Avoid delays and unnecessary waiting times between buses.
  • Cost-Effective: Pay a nominal fee of ₹40 for the connecting ticket, which is significantly less than booking a separate bus ticket.

How to Book a Connecting Ticket:

  1. Book your main TNSTC bus ticket online or at a TNSTC booking counter.
  2. Upon reaching the originating bus stop, approach the TNSTC conductor.
  3. Inform the conductor that you need a connecting ticket to your desired location within Chennai.
  4. Pay the additional ₹40 fee for the connecting ticket.
  5. Receive your connecting ticket and enjoy your onward journey.

Connecting Ticket Timings:

You can utilize the connecting ticket option within four hours of your arrival at the originating bus stop. This ensures that you have ample time to connect to another TNSTC bus and reach your final destination within Chennai conveniently.

Example:

  • Main Ticket: Madurai to Chennai (Arrival time at CMBT: 10:00 AM)**
  • Connecting Ticket: CMBT to T Nagar (Departure time: 10:30 AM)**

Additional Information:

  • Connecting tickets are currently available for intra-city travel within Chennai only.
  • The connecting ticket option is not applicable for inter-state travel.
  • Connecting ticket timings may vary depending on the availability of buses and traffic conditions.

Embrace Seamless Travel with TNSTC:

With the introduction of connecting tickets, TNSTC is committed to enhancing your travel experience and providing you with greater flexibility and convenience. So, the next time you book your TNSTC bus ticket, consider adding a connecting ticket for a hassle-free and seamless journey within Chennai.
