The carriageway at the Vallalar Nagar bus terminus is pitted, and even sandy in some places, and this has led commuters to demand repair works.
From this terminus, MTC operates bus services to Ennore, Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus, Periyapalayam, Pudur, Red Hills and Poonamallee.
Besides, the commuters have requested MTC to ensure that a pay-and-use washroom facility is established on the premises of the sprawling terminus.
At present, in the absence of the facility, the staff and the crew of the route numbers and the commuters relieve in the open on the walls of the terminal creating an unhygienic atmosphere.
Besides, the space abutting the walls is used for dumping trash, including construction debris.
“The route numbers are parked close to the reliving spot and the garbage dumping area. Steps should be taken at the earliest to lay the carriageway and clean the premises of the terminal,” says R. Sakunthala, a commuter and a resident of Poonamallee.
