The State Express Transport Corporation would operate daytime sleeper buses from Chennai to Coimbatore from Thursday, following requests from the public. Due to less availability of train services, the public has been demanding operation of daytime buses to Coimbatore.
Chennai:
According to SETC officials, express and luxury buses have been operating between the districts since September 7 following the relaxation of the lockdown.
Buses are available to Chennai, Tiruchy, Tirunelveli, Madurai, Coimbatore, Tirupur and Thanjavur to cater to the needs of the passengers.
Passengers demanded that a daytime luxury bus service be run from Chennai to Coimbatore as the trains were not fully operational. Accordingly, from Thursday, a new daytime luxury bus service will be launched from Koyambedu to Coimbatore.
The bus will leave the CMBT at 7 am via Villupuram, Ulundurpet, Salem, Bhavani and Avinashi (bypass). Those who want to travel can book tickets at the booking centers or at www.tnstc.in.
