The Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) in Chennai is set for a major upgrade, with air-conditioned trains to be introduced soon. This modernization aims to bring MRTS services on par with the Metro Rail in terms of passenger comfort and facilities.
Officials confirmed that the AC coaches will feature improved seating, better ventilation, and noise reduction. The move is part of a broader initiative to encourage public transport use and reduce road congestion.
The first upgraded rakes are expected to be operational in the coming months, benefiting thousands of daily commuters between Chennai Beach and Velachery.
