How to Read the Chennai Metro Map
The Chennai Metro map uses corridor colours and shared stations to show where routes connect. Chennai Metro Rail Limited’s official travel planner identifies Line 1 as the Blue Line and Line 2 as the Green Line.
Its Phase I and II map depicts five corridors: Blue Corridor 1, Green Corridor 2, Purple Corridor 3, Yellow Corridor 4 and Red Corridor 5.
Look for stations that appear on more than one corridor when planning a change between lines. Arignar Anna Alandur is on both the Blue and Green lines.
On the Phase I and II map, Kilpauk is shared by Corridors 2 and 3, while Sholinganallur is shared by Corridors 1 and 2. Wimco Nagar Depot and Chennai International Airport are Blue Line stations; Egmore and Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central are on the Green Line.
