TRANSPORT
Comfortable and convenient air-conditioned bus transport is provided to the students residing
in & around the city of Chennai, for easy transportation to the institute and back. Pollution-
freebattery-driven vehicles are operated for transport within the campus. Also, bicycles are
available for use within the green zone areas of the campus for students & faculty.
POLLUTION FREE BATTERY DRIVEN CARS AND
BICYCLESFOR TRANSPORTATION INSIDE THE
CAMPUS
Electric cars run on electrically powered engines and hence there is no need to power
orlubricate the engines with hydrocarbons. The maintenance cost of these cars is very minimal
compared to that of a conventional Fuel Operated or a Hybrid Car. Electric cars put a curb on
noise pollution as they are much quieter. Electric motors are capable of providing smooth drive
with higher acceleration over longer distances. Increased transportation efficiency is the best
place to start efforts to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the primary cause
of global warming.
With a good cycle network with Park and Ride facility, cyclists may join or leave the bike bus
at various points along the route. Commuting in the cycle by the students has become
popular, safer, and enjoyable. Riding to various places on the campus boosts energy and a
level of emotional security instilled after cycling, particularly for female students.
