PAGE CORRECTION: The current spiritofchennai.com page incorrectly lists the Last Stop as Poonamalle. The correct terminus is Tambaram. Route 21G runs Broadway to Tambaram, not Poonamallee.
Route 21G is one of Chennai’s most strategically important bus routes, covering the full length of the city’s eastern spine from Broadway in the north all the way to Tambaram in the south — a 33.6 km diagonal that threads through the Marina, Adyar, Kotturpuram, Anna University, Guindy, and the airport belt. For budget travellers reaching Chennai Airport without a cab, Route 21G’s Thirusoolam stop is the key — it deposits passengers at the airport perimeter, from where the domestic and international terminals are accessible by a short walk or the free airport shuttle.
TIMETABLE NOTE: The official departure schedule from the spiritofchennai.com page lists the actual departure times for all 60 daily trips. The timetable in this guide uses those official listed times directly rather than estimated intervals, giving the most accurate planning reference available.

Stop 14: Thirusoolam (Chennai International Airport)
| Category | Details |
| What it is | THE most distinctive stop on Route 21G — a direct MTC bus stop at Chennai International Airport |
| Key landmarks | Chennai International Airport — formally Madras International Airport, also known as Anna International Airport — is the third busiest airport in India, handling approximately 22 million passengers annually. Terminal 1 (domestic, older), Terminal 2 (international and domestic, new), and the integrated terminal complex are all accessible from the Thirusoolam area. |
| How to use Route 21G for the airport | Alight at Thirusoolam stop. The airport entry gates are within walking distance (approximately 500 metres to 1 km depending on the terminal). The CISF-controlled airport perimeter road connects to both domestic and international drop-off points. For international travel, allow extra time for the walk plus security queuing. For domestic travel, the walk is shorter. A free airport shuttle also runs between terminals. |
| Why this matters | Route 21G from Broadway (and intermediate stops including Chepauk, Mandaveli, Adyar Gate, Anna University, Guindy RS) gives budget travellers a direct bus connection to Chennai Airport. The standard auto-rickshaw fare from Guindy to the airport is Rs 200 to Rs 350 during peak hours. Route 21G covers the same journey for Rs 12 to Rs 15. |
| Important caveat | Route 21G is an ordinary city bus — not an airport coach. It does not have luggage racks or announcements. For travellers with large baggage, the bus can be challenging during peak hours when it is crowded. Off-peak travel (before 7 AM or between 11 AM and 4 PM) on Route 21G to the airport is comfortable and practical. |
| Last bus timing | The last bus from Broadway passes Thirusoolam at approximately 10:50 PM (departure from Broadway at 9:25 PM + 85 minute journey). For very late departures, verify and consider alternatives. |

Who Uses Route 21G
Airport Travellers and Aviation Workers
The Thirusoolam stop at Chennai Airport makes Route 21G uniquely valuable for budget travellers, airport ground staff, airline crew, and CISF personnel commuting to the airport from Broadway, Chepauk, Mandaveli, Adyar, and Guindy. No other ordinary city bus covers this exact airport-to-city corridor with as many intermediate boarding points.
Anna University Students and Faculty
The Engineering College stop serves Anna University’s main campus directly. Students and faculty from Mandaveli, Adyar, and the Marina belt use Route 21G as a direct connection without requiring a change at Guindy or CMBT.
Tambaram and Southern Suburb Residents
Residents of Tambaram, Chromepet, Pallavaram, and the Sanatorium belt use Route 21G for access to the Marina and Broadway zones — a 33.6 km connection that otherwise requires two or three bus changes.
Heritage and Religious Travellers
Route 21G passes or gives access to Fort St George (1644), St Mary’s Church (1680), Chepauk and the Anna memorials, Gandhi Mandapam, St Thomas Mount Church (1523), and Parthasarathy Temple (Triplicane, accessible from Stop 2). For heritage and pilgrimage travellers moving between north and south Chennai landmarks, this route is a single-bus solution.
Gem Trade Professionals
Chromepet’s gem and jewellery cluster draws buyers, traders, and craftsmen from central Chennai. Route 21G provides a direct connection from Broadway and the marina belt to the Chromepet gem market.
Traveller Tips for Route 21G
Frequency Pattern
- The official departure times list 60 trips — not a uniform 7-minute interval. Morning peak trips are clustered closely; midday gaps (roughly 1 PM to 3:30 PM) can stretch to 20 to 30 minutes. Always check the full timetable before travelling during off-peak hours.
- The 7-minutes-average claim reflects the total trips spread across the full day, not an even distribution
Airport Travel Strategy
- For domestic travel from Broadway to the airport: the 5:45 AM or 6:00 AM first trips arrive at Thirusoolam by approximately 6:50 to 7:05 AM — useful for early morning departures
- Off-peak window for comfortable airport travel on Route 21G: between 10:10 AM and 4:05 PM when buses are less crowded
- From Tambaram to the airport: Thirusoolam is approximately 24 minutes from Tambaram — faster and far cheaper than a cab
- From Guindy RS to the airport: approximately 18 minutes. Practical for professionals working in Guindy with flights to catch
The Guindy RS Shortcut
- For Broadway to Tambaram passengers in a hurry during peak hours, consider: ride 21G to Guindy RS (stop 11), alight, and take a suburban train to Tambaram (approximately 15 minutes by train vs 40 to 45 minutes by bus remaining)
- Suburban trains from Guindy RS run approximately every 10 to 15 minutes to Tambaram. This hybrid approach can save 20 to 30 minutes during peak congestion
Match Day and Event Advisory
- On CSK IPL match days at Chepauk, buses on this route passing the Chepauk stop are extremely crowded before and after matches. Add 20 to 30 minutes to journey estimates and consider boarding or alighting at alternate stops

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take the 21G bus directly to Chennai Airport?
Yes. Route 21G stops at Thirusoolam (Stop 14), which is at the perimeter of Chennai International Airport. From the Thirusoolam bus stop, both the domestic and international terminals are accessible by a short walk (approximately 500 metres to 1 km) or a brief auto ride. This makes Route 21G one of the cheapest ways to reach the airport from Broadway, Chepauk, Adyar, Anna University, and Guindy.
What is the page error on the current spiritofchennai.com listing?
The existing page incorrectly lists the Last Stop as Poonamalle. This is wrong. Route 21G runs from Broadway to Tambaram. Poonamalle is served by a different set of routes including Route 101. This has been corrected in this guide.
How is Route 21G different from Route 102?
Both routes run from Broadway toward Kelambakkam and Tambaram direction and share several stops (Broadway, Secretariat, Chepauk, YMIA). Route 102 continues via Santhome, Foreshore Estate, MRC Nagar, and Adyar Depot before entering the OMR corridor toward Kelambakkam. Route 21G takes a different path via Mandaveli, Adyar Gate, Kotturpuram, and Anna University before reaching the airport belt. Choose 21G if heading to Anna University, the airport, Chromepet, or Tambaram. Choose 102 if heading to Santhome, Adyar Depot, or the OMR corridor.
What is the fare from Broadway to Chennai Airport?
The ordinary fare from Broadway to Thirusoolam (Chennai Airport stop) is approximately Rs 11 to Rs 14 depending on whether you board an ordinary or express service.
Is Tambaram the last stop or is it Poonamallee?
Tambaram is the correct last stop on Route 21G. The page error showing Poonamallee as the last stop is incorrect. Poonamallee is a western suburb reached via completely different corridors (routes 101, B70 etc). Tambaram is the southern suburb at the end of this coastal and airport route.
Can I use Route 21G to reach St Thomas Mount Church?
Yes. Alight at Stop 12 (St Thomas Mount). The hill church (Church of Our Lady of Expectation, built 1523) is reached by climbing the 135 steps to the summit. The church is open daily and is a major pilgrimage destination for Catholics, with particular significance as one of three sites worldwide associated with the Apostle Thomas.
What is special about Chromepet?
Chromepet is one of India’s three major gem cutting and jewellery manufacturing centres alongside Jaipur and Surat. Thousands of small workshops in Chromepet cut, polish, and set diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and precious stones for export markets in the USA, Europe, and UAE. The cluster is largely composed of family-run businesses that have operated for generations.

Timetable Notes
1. AIRPORT ACCESS: Stop 14 (Thirusoolam) is Chennai International Airport. Read off the time at row 14 for your trip number to know your approximate airport arrival time.
2. Departure times are official from the MTC timetable. Times at intermediate stops are calculated by adding the offset from the terminus departure time.
3. Peak hours (yellow columns): 7 AM to 10 AM and 5 PM to 8 PM. Average peak speed is 18 km per hour. Add 15 to 25 minutes during peak periods, especially on the Adyar Gate to Guindy RS section.
4. PAGE CORRECTION: The current spiritofchennai.com page incorrectly lists the last stop as Poonamalle. The correct last stop is Tambaram.
5. Always verify current timings at mtcbus.tn.gov.in before travel. Times subject to change by MTC without notice.
