IN what could spell relief for thousands of passengers, the Madurai city corporation last week floated a tender to carry out redevelopment works at the MGR Bus stand, popularly known as Mattuthavani bus stand, at a cost of ₹15 crore.

Once the tender is finalised, which is likely by next month, officials said works like replacement of tile fittings at the bus platforms and storm water drain network declogging would commence.

While the bus stand witnesses the operation of hundreds of buses at its eight platforms daily, commuters bemoan the state of basic amenities like the toilets.
