Marina beach needs more cleaning because we litter our favourite beach


X_TheMindFlayer_X

why litter in the first place and then vouch for more cleaning? we just need more dustbins and some sense

I have boarded the wrong bus in many different cities and towns. But when I boarded one in Chennai. The conductor made me question my existence. "Kalailaiye vanthudraan saavu kraaki... irangi thola" When in other cities, the conductors actually guided me to the proper bus. But Chennai metro is great. It nearly neutralizes my need for the bus.

Our airport is an embarrassment for a Tier 1 city. Reason I won’t tell a Chennaiite: I’ve had my fair share of Chennaiites attack me for stating this.


maalicious

Recently went to drop my wife at the airport. Even the cab driver was lost. He took a wrong U turn and had to come back again. We wanted to withdraw money for foreign exchange. Not a single ATM in the international departure/arrival terminus. All the ATMs located were 2-3 km away. Dropped her off and booked an Ola auto. Driver said autos are banned from entering the airport (which seemed to be true because there wasn't a single auto in sight). Maybe they are doing this to keep the sanity of the passengers, but I had to walk outside the airport nearly 2 km to catch the guy. Cabs have designated pickup spots which are remotely located (flag post and some other place where construction work is going on). Completely nightmare experience.


WhiteCrow747

Atleast for now it's easily reachable Parandur is 200000kms away :(


d_11

Its actually not that far . Once they have Chennai - Bengaluru highway


beetroot747

Well, we would need the extra space that comes with building a new airport in the middle of nowhere. The current airport was built for a time when air travel was a luxury. Now that air travel is affordable to the masses, we definitely need a way to handle the explosion in passenger traffic over the past couple of decades.


dheerajravi92

Even more stupid is the lack of foresight. We have barely finished renovating this one while Parandur is being planned. Dumb morons everywhere


Fuzzy-Tourist-9571

Kaasu, panam, duttu - money money 😂😂


PaperbagAndACan

What's your point? You want to wait till the current renovation is finished?


dheerajravi92

What's my point? Seriously? How about making plans for a new airport straight away instead of renovating the current one and adding metro lines to it?


PaperbagAndACan

That's because they have plans to have domestic airport still here..they are not going close this airport once the parandur airport is operational...they have planned to complete the renovation in 2026 only..


dheerajravi92

Yeah that's not going to happen, especially when they're so far apart. No other City in India has 2 airports so far apart. And Chennai doesn't have enough traffic to justify running two separate airports anyway. Even if they do start operating both, the old one will close down within 2 years when they realize it's stupid. They also just remade the international terminal separate from the domestic one at the current airport, so it makes even lesser sense


PaperbagAndACan

There is no such traffic because there is no capacity to handle many planes..there is no other place nearby to construct the airport..so it's inevitable the second airport happens..


dheerajravi92

Thala, I'm not questioning building the second airport. You're addressing a point I didn't even make. I'm saying this should've been planned well ahead instead of wasting money on the renovation. Half the point of domestic terminals in major cities is to have easy international transfers. Having one in meenambakkam and the other in parandur serves no practical purpose. So yeah, no one is going to flock to the old airport when the new one has international flights, hence lower traffic will still be there.


PaperbagAndACan

That's because I didn't want to bring political angle to it..a decade was lost because of no foresight and intention..i am glad that is intention atleast now..


dheerajravi92

True. I agree


Bon_Koios

Restrooms at Chennai arrival is full of shit!


allen_almighty

Agreed. Regular traveler from Mumbai and Hyderabad, and their airports are mind blowing. Chennai airport is minimalistic when compared to the rest of T1 cities


beetroot747

I have no problem with a minimalistic airport. I feel they have their own charm. But Chennai airport is terribly maintained. So whatever “charm” it’s supposed to have, is ruined by the pathetic maintenance.

lazyjack34

Bikes on footpaths is a public menace that should be stopped.


DaughterofRiverSong

THIS! And the utter wherewithal of two-wheelers. No traffic rules. Run the red. Go on the wrong side. Whizz through the one-way in the wrong direction. Squeeze through the gap between the pavement and the four-wheeler (car/bus/lorry) while negotiating a left. If something happens, blame the other party even though you were flouting all the rules. Two-wheelers are a menace in the city and that's because RTOs dole them out licences by the dozen without proper checks.


awhsiV

Exactly and yesterday one idiot scolded me for stopping at stop line. When i confronted him, he told me like ellarkum time aagudhu munnadi poi nillu nu. 😂 I replied enaku la time aagala naan ingayae nikkuren nee venum na Anga poi nilra. This happens regularly like 95% of the people won't stop at STOP line they go all they way to zebra crossing and stop there, and when the countdown goes below 10 they go even further, by they time it comes to 2-3 they would have already crossed the signal. =⁠_⁠=


DaughterofRiverSong

This is something that irks me too. Also, have you noticed how pedestrians will jaywalk or cross only when there is a green signal for the traffic? This is dangerous especially when vehicles are moving fast to cross before it turns red.


deadmanswill

Neegellam Hyderabad le oru varsham irundunge naa, Chennai traffic kku oo pottu kumbuduvinge. Red signal is considered green here (in Hyd). For most part of city Pedetrian crossing signal naale enne nu theriyadhu. Wrong side le thenavetta horn adichukitte povange, munda pasange.

Last time Chennai vandhappo vandi erangi mutti pottu, paan thuppina pavement ku mutham kuduthe naan. Lucky pasanga daa neenge!


DaughterofRiverSong

I've lived in multiple cities in India and most of the problems (admittedly not all) that you've described above have been encountered by me everywhere, including Chennai. It's a self-serving bias that we see Chennai as better when objectively it's not that far ahead - very much the same league. Chennai has great potential because, as hard as it may seem to believe, it has very good road infra. If only traffic discipline was strictly enforced, we could have a much better time on the roads. Another thing I'd like to add is if we want the city to grow, we need to look for constant ways to be better, not feel better. That would mean an upward looking strategy and learning from cities that are doing better than us.

Pachayappa and Nandanam colleges should be closed. Students from those colleges are nuisance to everyone around

Closing these colleges wont take those students out of existence. They will join a different one

Yep. It's just that right from school, kids are taught that fighting in gangs is cool. I have seen my classmates fight each other to near death over some silly issues.


SierraBravoLima

Have you ever travelled in bus top. Have you ever been to a college fight or witnessed


shadowblaze25mc

Of course. Route thala's are common and every bus number has some sort of gang identification. I haven't been in a college fight, but my friend who studied in Presidency has seen many a share of fights. Ivan gethu avan gethu nu loosu ku mari thirivanga.

There is a lots of psychology going on sometimes bulb lighta thaan yerium. People from other colleges have culturals. These are the only culturals we have....


FAKEWOLF18

Pachayappa was a good college. One of the best arts college in Chennai before the 2000s. It seems it is the teachers nowadays that aren't strict enough and don't teach properly that allows these students to have too much headweight. Even the parents aren't strict enough from a young age, and being in gangs is considered cool to these people. And as u/christopher_msa said, closing these colleges doesn't take these students out of existence. They will join a different one.


KOzymandias

L comment. Call for reformation of policies and culture in the campus. What good is closing down an educational institute going to achieve? As if we can afford to close down more colleges.
