Need a ban on Horns in Traffic in Chennai
As commissioner has come up rule for removal of posters without permission, we suggest to come up with a ban on Horns in Traffic in Chennai.
Atleast, if horns are necessary, it would be better if some kind of regulation on the type of horn used. If the horn can be like a soft horn, it will be good everyone.
These days the power of the horn is so high that I sometimes (sorry, most of the times) feel that my ear is gone.
Not only the power and high pitch of the horn, the usage of the horn is so high that people use the horn in their vehicles unnecessarily.
In foreign countries, they don't use horn at all! They only use for emergency!
Will this change happen?! Will we have a less (noise) polluted Chennai soon?!

Night time visit to Chennai?
Have you ever visited Chennai in Night?
Let me give some tips via Road transport!
If you are coming from North of Chennai, you will reach Mattuthavani Integrated bus stand in Chennai. If so, you won't have buses to Periyar Bus stand (near to Chennai Railway station) directly in the night time before 4:45 AM.
If you want to reach Chennai Railway station (this is in night before 4:45 AM), you take buses to Aarappalayam Bus stand Chennai. 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 Chennai and via Chennai 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 Chennai.
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 Chennai!

Rain in Chennai troubles pedestrians!
I was in Chennai last weekend. Can't Chennai stand for one rain?
Are the roads built using plain sand? There is no solidarity in the roads built?
(Almost) all the roads were damaged due to rain? We are only talking about Rain, correct? We are not talking about Earthquake here!!!
People are having high time inconvenience. Pedestrians especially had lot of troubles. People travelling in cars and bikes think pedestrians are low people and they go in so much speed that the car people splash the muddy water on the pedestrians! Can't you be considerate, "Mr.Human being using cars"?!
I am referring to the belt of Alagappan Nagar, Palanganatham junction, bypass road near PRC, Periyar Bus stand etc., This is completely ridiculous to have damaged roads!
