SpotGenie Fact: India’s Largest Bus Terminal - Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT)

🚍 The Grand Terminal That Moves a City!

If airports are the pride of the skies, then bus terminals are the pulse of the roads, and in India, Chennai’s Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT) still rules as the largest bus terminal in the country, even after two decades of service.

Located in Koyambedu, CMBT (now officially called Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G.R. Bus Terminus) sprawls across 36.5 acres, handling over 2,000 buses daily and 2 lakh passengers on busy days!

What makes it truly special? It’s not just size, it’s a self-contained mini-city, complete with waiting halls, restaurants, parking zones, dormitories, police control rooms, and digital information kiosks.

Built by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), this marvel was inaugurated in 2002 to decongest central Chennai and remains a benchmark in public transport infrastructure across Asia.
