International Airport in Chennai after Mumbai and Delhi is the third in India on its workload. International flights here arrive in the Terminal called Anna, and the internal terminal called Camii. These two terminals are located near apart - at a distance of 150 meters. Nowadays, the metro branch is being laid from the airport to the city itself so that it is really consistent with the world class. With the help of the largest Indian domestic carriers, Chennai are connected with a multitude of Indian cities, so the arrival here, you can then calmly transfer the plane and fly to the place that you need.
From the airport you can get to the city by train, and it will be the cheapest way. A ticket to the suburban train costs only 5 rupees. You can drive to the park or to Egmore - these are two main passenger traffic stations of the city. You should know that the train does not pass through the Central Station itself, but from the station Park Chennai you can walk there. If you are a little baggage, it will be the best solution. It is advisable to buy a first class ticket, especially if you arrived at the airport at the rush hour. The fact is that common cars are very often overflowing at this time, because residents from the suburbs on them go to work.
You can also get to, of course, on a taxi, and you can pay for a trip in advance at the checkout. When you come out of the airport, you will see that there are several cash desks near each terminal, and each taxi service has its own. What else is interesting, so this is the fact that the passage for travel from two terminals is different, although they are near each other.
You can choose either standard taxis (usually they are yellow with black signs and cars there are pretty old), or a private taxi, where cars can be of any color and any model. As in all Indian airports you will immediately surround private traders and will offer to pass to the place at the best price.
If you constantly answer the solid "no", they will lose all interest. Please note that there are usually no air conditioners in old taxis, and the cars there are quite used there, so they can completely stall somewhere halfway. As a rule, a trip to the center of the center, I will cost you 300 rupees, and if you go somewhere later, it still should not cost more than 1000 rupees.
In Chennai there are two railway stations - Central and Chennai Egmore. In principle, both of them have commuter trains to the airport, as well as city buses to the bus station. From the Central Railway Station, trains go to major cities of the country daily. Well, from the CHENNAI EGMORE station, trains within the state of Tamilad and in some more famous places outside of it are already being sent. Tickets to major cities are better to book in advance.
Also in Chennai there is almost one of the largest bus stations in Asia. Buses run from here mainly on the territory of South India and owned by immediately seven in various state companies. From this bus station you can directly reach the airport and both passenger railway stations. This is very cheap, but often a spontaneous way of movement. In addition to state-owned companies, private autocompany also provide services here. However, on weekends you will not find tickets for the main amount of the bus, so the places should be booked in advance.
