Night time visit to Coimbatore?

Have you ever visited Coimbatore in Night?

Let me give some tips via Road transport!

If you are coming from North of Coimbatore, you will reach Mattuthavani Integrated bus stand in Coimbatore. If so, you won't have buses to Periyar Bus stand (near to Coimbatore Railway station) directly in the night time before 4:45 AM.

If you want to reach Coimbatore Railway station (this is in night before 4:45 AM), you take buses to Aarappalayam Bus stand Coimbatore. Once you reach Aarappalayam, you will have frequent buses to Periyar Bus stand, Thirumangalam, Palanganatham and Thirunagar. You can take these buses and go to southern parts of Coimbatore and via Coimbatore Railway station.

Do not take Autos at this time and there will be lot of people keep on offering for Auto rides. I don't really trust these people at this time! It is up to you and your risk. Day time Auto is fine, but not at the night times.

If you want to wait till 5 AM in the morning in Maattuthavani bus stand, then fine - you will have buses to all southern parts of Coimbatore.

By the way, there is a new bus stop made inside Railway station campus for all the bus riders.

If you are a tourist and you need a friendly question to be answered, please feel free to send us your questions if any. We will be glad to assist you via email as well-wishers of Coimbatore!

Chennai to Coimbatore - Railways, Road Transport

Given the situation that more and more people from South are moving to North Tamil Nadu, other states and other countries for work and for personal reasons, there is lesser skilled labours population in Southern districts of Tamil Nadu. That is totally a different problem altogether, in the interests of this article.

If the people travelling from Chennai to Coimbatore and other southern districts are more, eventually there is a great demand for transport.

Say for example - for a trip to home town in Diwali season or long weekends, it becomes very very tough for all the passengers. We don't even get tickets and it is all Waiting List. Within one day, tickets are sold for Diwali season. Long queues in railway bookings. This is the situation in Railways. Why don't Railways Ministry increase the trains? I know there are special trains, but even special trains queue was booked just within 1 day.

Same situation is with Bus. In Road transport, what happens is people sell tickets for higher rates and really unreasonable rates, since there is lot of demand.

We would request more regulation from Government in all these (agents increasing ticket rates) and also increase the number of transport mechanisms, which will be useful for the general public!!

Basically - Improve Transport in and around Coimbatore and to/from North, since Coimbatore is connecting all the places around for southern districts and northern districts.
