Vadapalani Metro Phase II Station Faces Access, Safety, and Leakage Issues Post-Launch
The newly opened Vadapalani Metro Phase II station faces several commuter challenges, including incomplete entry-exit work causing long walks between Phase I and II stations, poor signage, and safety concerns with platform screen doors remaining open. Additionally, minor leakages were reported at multiple Phase II stations during recent rains, similar to issues faced in Phase I nearly a decade ago. Chennai Metro Rail officials acknowledge these problems and have begun addressing them, including fixing leakages and improving real-time train information displays.
