Residents have urged the district administration to take steps set up a bus stand or at least a designated area along the highway, to alleviate transport concerns of passengers deboarding here.

The district lies along the NH 44 highway and is a crucial route for all buses going from south Tamil Nadu to Bengaluru. With trains being limited, hundreds of government and private company employees use omni buses to commute to and from various parts of the state or other states often.
