How Does MTC Offer Monthly Passes Now?

Currently, the monthly passes are available only at major bus stations like the Chennai Mofussil Bus Stand (CMBT), Tambaram, and Madhavaram, where people have to go for in-person renewal. Now, integrating the Chennai One App with the MTC will allow commuters to renew and buy passes digitally without the hassle of physical presence. 

The MTC currently offers two monthly travel pass options:

  • Rs 1,000 Pass: Valid for all city buses except air-conditioned buses.

  • Rs 2,000 Pass: Valid for all city buses, including air-conditioned buses, throughout the month.
