Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) is providing a special service for fans attending the India vs Zimbabwe cricket match at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. The metro will offer free rides to spectators who hold match tickets, using these tickets as passes for travel.
This initiative is designed to ease transportation for fans and ensure a smooth trip to and from the stadium. Key features of this plan include:
- Free metro rides for ticket holders on match day.
- Extended metro service hours until midnight to accommodate late departures.
- Increased train frequency on the day of the match.
- Special operational measures and crowd management near the stadium’s metro station.
The move is expected to reduce traffic congestion around the venue and offer a convenient and cost-effective travel alternative for cricket supporters. Local fans have welcomed the metro initiative, citing improved accessibility and ease of commute.
This effort also highlights a growing trend of integrating public transportation systems with major sporting events to enhance the overall fan experience. Officials hope this collaboration will serve as a model for future matches and other sports events in the city.
Spectators attending the match are reminded to carry their match tickets for metro access and be aware of the extended service timings to facilitate their return journeys.
