i'm going for an event in IITM Research Park (https://osmapp.org/way/102580568) next month. got a train to chennai egmore from my place but confused how to reach from there. comaps gave me this route:
- walk: egmore railway to egmore metro
- metro: egmore to government estate
- walk: govt estate metro to chintadripet railway station
- train: chintadripet to taramani
- walk: taramani railway station to iitm research park

is this correct? is there a better route?

Return trains were at WL80 so booked a bus from Urappakkam to Ernakulam and then a train to my place. Again, confused how to reach Urappakkam bus stand. CoMaps couldn't help with public transport this time, so I made up this route with Wikipedia articles on Chennai suburban railway.

walk: iitm research park - thiruvanmiyur railway station
Chennai MRTS: thiruvanmiyur to chennai beach
south line chennai suburban: chennai beach to urappakkam
walk: urappakkam to urappakkam bus stand

Is there a faster way? this is on saturday btw, hope the suburban trains run on weekends too

@libreinator here's a route I might consider (from the top of my head): catch the metro to meenambakkam, go to meenambakkam railway station (should be close by iirc), catch a train to urapakkam (guduvaancheri side) and walk to the bus stand.

There's prolly another railway station near IIT though I have no idea about this sorry.
