Lack of online information for public transportation is one of the main reasons to lose our interest from using it.The main aim of these website is to make this information available online which helps commuters, particularly those new to the city.
1.Busroutes.in
Started by a group of enthusiastic engineering students in Chennai, busroutes.in is designed very beautifully with a simple layout.The Map feature is very unique and covers each and every part of the city layout.
The special bus services like AC Volvo information is also arranged under separate categories. There are also planning to include train and share auto information to this site.
