Monopoly in the Metro.

After spending more than 22 years in and around Coimbatore, I have moved to Chennai just for better career opportunities. It is been four years now. Due to the impact of my childhood, my mind used to compare thing in Chennai with that of in Coimbatore. Except entertainment Coimbatore has an edge almost everything like food, climate, neighbourhood, etc.,

Those who have experienced the quality of public transport in Coimbatore (CBE) district will appreciate that as it is far better than the one in Chennai (CHN).

Private players play a major role in providing a better and highly competitive services to win the market and also the hearts of the public. The good thing is that these services are at no extra cost. So, it is Win-Win for all (Government, Public and Service Providers).

Ironically in Chennai, all the public transport (Bus) services are done by the Government. Not just the new comers, even those who are here for a long time feel it different to understand the meaning of Board Colors, M series, etc. Highly quality buses are also available but at a higher cost.

So, it is good to have a private player in the competition but still under government's umbrella.
