One of the main suburban stations in Chennai so better than the other local stations. Well maintained, all shops are open most time and prices are reasonable. Most times the station will be crowded.
Less cost compare with bus transport and less time consuming
The places are difficult to find here the ticket counter for Chennai Central station in suburban building. There are different counters for different trains (express and local trains). If you are in a hurry it's better to ask a nearby RPF and get help
