In view of the grand Tiruchendur Subramanya Swamy Temple consecration happening on July 7, the Tirunelveli district administration has announced major transport arrangements to manage the large influx of devotees. The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC), Tirunelveli division, will operate 600 special buses, including numerous services from Tirunelveli to Tiruchendur.

Whether you're traveling from Tirunelveli town or nearby rural areas, this comprehensive plan ensures a convenient and spiritual travel experience.

🚌 600 Special Buses Including Services from Tirunelveli

To handle the pilgrim rush between July 5 and July 8, TNSTC has added 600 special buses to Tiruchendur, in addition to the regular services from Tirunelveli and other cities across Tamil Nadu. This includes buses from:

• Tirunelveli

• Chennai

• Madurai

• Coimbatore

• Tiruppur

• Salem

• Rameswaram

• Thoothukudi

• Nagercoil

The Tirunelveli to Tiruchendur route will be one of the busiest and most frequently serviced, with continuous buses available during peak hours.

🏕️ Temporary Bus Stands for Tirunelveli-Bound Travelers

To reduce traffic congestion and manage the crowd efficiently, three temporary bus stands have been set up around Tiruchendur. Tirunelveli-bound buses will specifically operate from:

1. Vettavelimadam Bus Stand – Tirunelveli Road:

   • Buses from here go to Tirunelveli, Papanasam, Tenkasi, Sankarankoil, and Rajapalayam.

   • Ideal for passengers returning to Tirunelveli town or boarding from interior regions of the district.

2. Thoothukudi Road Bus Stand – Opposite Sivanthi Aditanar Memorial:

   • For travelers from Madurai, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, and Chennai, including connecting routes via Tirunelveli.

3. Kanniyakumari Road Bus Stand – Near Theppakulam:

   • Connects travelers heading toward southern routes like Nagercoil and Valliyoor, accessible for Tirunelveli rural areas.

🚐 30 Temple Shuttle Buses from All Bus Stands

To help devotees reach the temple entrance with ease, 30 special shuttle buses will run between the three temporary bus stands and Subramanya Swamy Temple. This service benefits pilgrims coming from Tirunelveli, who might be dropped off at any of the temporary stands.

These shuttle buses will run frequently to prevent delays or long walks in the crowded temple town.

✅ Why This is Great News for Tirunelveli Devotees:

• Direct access from Tirunelveli to Tiruchendur during peak pilgrimage days.

• Well-managed return routes from designated stands to Tirunelveli.

• Seamless connection for rural Tirunelveli areas like Sankarankoil, Tenkasi, and Papanasam.

• No need for private vehicles — safe, affordable public travel.
