With almost 25000 IT professionals working in Tata Consultancy Services alone ,Siruseri IT park invites so many people to travel through OMR daily.Since Siruseri is outside Chennai , almost everyone spends huge amount of time for travel.Most of them take company transportation services.Including those almost 200 buses traverse the IT Corridor daily.I stay in Velachery and take my company bus.On days when i cannot afford it , i take 570 MTC bus (there is an A/C bus too under the same route). Recently MTC released 570S which goes inside the park as well.The following are the bus routes available connecting Siruseri IT Park with other parts of Chennai.(Hover over the route number to know source and destination - click to find the route details)
MTC says that most of the commuters to Siruseri IT Park are from the following areas:
* Mylapore
* Saidapet
* Velachery
* Thiruvanmiyur
Also a study by Institute and Transport Development Policy shows that MTC and private buses account for 16 % of the vehicles on OMR but carry 63 % of the commuters.
On reaching SIPCOT(Siruseri IT Park) , auto services can be availed (they charge relatively high- 15 rupees for less than 1 km and 20 rupees for more than 1 km inside the park) .
