Chennai Traveller Uses Metro to Reach Airport Faster, Praises ServicePreviousNext

A Chennai traveller named Anirudh shared his first experience using the Chennai Metro while rushing to catch a flight. Stuck in heavy traffic with only 30 minutes to reach the airport, he chose the metro, which took 21 minutes compared to 41 minutes by road. He praised the metro's cleanliness, polite passengers, live tracking integration, and the direct connection from the metro station to airport terminals via travellators and a dedicated Digi Yatra gate. The experience convinced him to recommend the metro for airport travel.
