Chennai’s MRTS (Mass Rapid Transit System) network could see its first round of passenger-friendly changes by early 2027, with authorities prioritising station security, lighting and cleanliness. The Tamil Nadu government is preparing to take over assets at all 20 stations on the Chennai Beach–St Thomas Mount corridor from Southern Railway. The transfer agreement is expected by the end of November, after which the state plans to begin the transition towards improved station facilities, according to TOI.
