Route 45B is one of central Chennai’s most useful cross-city connectors, linking the historic Chepauk and Marina Beach zone at Anna Square with the Guindy industrial and government estate at the southern end. The route cuts diagonally through the city, passing through the dense urban neighbourhoods of Triplicane, Luz, and Saidapet before reaching the Raj Bhavan corridor and the Guindy employment zone. For residents of Luz, Mylapore, and Saidapet who need to reach Guindy’s government offices or industrial estate without going via CMBT, Route 45B is often the fastest single-bus option.

NOTE ON PEAK FREQUENCY: The route averages one bus every 11 minutes across the full operating day. However, real-world data shows the effective frequency during peak hours drops to approximately one bus every 22 minutes due to traffic congestion on the Saidapet to Guindy section of Mount Road. Plan accordingly.

Who Uses Route 45B

Government and Institutional Workers

The TVK Estate at the terminus end houses numerous Tamil Nadu state government department offices. Civil servants, government contractors, and visitors to state offices form a consistent portion of daily ridership, particularly on the morning trips from Anna Square.

Guindy Industrial Estate Workers

The SIDCO Guindy Industrial Estate adjacent to TVK Estate is one of Chennai’s oldest manufacturing zones. Workers in automotive component factories, chemical plants, and light engineering firms use Route 45B from Saidapet and the coastal residential belt.

Anna University Students and Faculty

Anna University’s main campus is within a 5 to 10 minute walk of Guindy TVK Estate. Students boarding at Saidapet Metro, Luz, or from the Triplicane and Royapettah area use Route 45B for a direct connection to the university without needing to transit via CMBT or T Nagar.

Heritage and Religious Travellers

Route 45B passes within reach of Parthasarathy Temple (Triplicane), Luz Church (one of Chennai’s oldest), Ice House (Vivekanandar Illam), and the Anna and Karunanidhi memorials at Anna Square. Devotees, pilgrims, and heritage visitors moving between these sites use this route heavily, particularly on weekends and festival days.

Saidapet Metro Interchange Commuters

A significant portion of ridership uses Route 45B specifically for the Saidapet Metro interchange — boarding at Anna Square or Triplicane and alighting at Saidapet to connect to the Green Line for Anna Nagar, CMBT, or the Airport.

Traveller Tips for Route 45B

Peak Hour Reality

  • The advertised frequency of every 11 minutes is a daily average. Peak hour (7:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM) frequency on this route drops to approximately 20 to 22 minutes due to congestion on Anna Salai and the Saidapet to Guindy stretch
  • The Saidapet to Guindy section on Mount Road is one of Chennai’s most reliably congested corridors during peak hours. The 6 km from Saidapet to Guindy can take 20 to 30 minutes at peak vs 12 minutes off-peak
  • For time-critical journeys to Guindy from central Chennai during peak hours, consider the Saidapet Metro to Guindy Metro (Green Line) as a faster alternative for the final segment

Best Boarding Strategy

  • Board at Anna Square for guaranteed seating — this is the origin and the bus is empty
  • At Saidapet, the bus fills considerably. If boarding here during peak hours, let 1 or 2 full buses pass if possible
  • The Luz stop is convenient for Mylapore and Royapettah residents — autos from Mylapore to Luz take 5 to 8 minutes

Using the Saidapet Interchange

  • Saidapet is the most valuable interchange point on this route. Both the Metro Green Line and MRTS connect here
  • For Anna Nagar or CMBT destinations: alight at Saidapet and take the Metro Green Line northbound — faster than any bus during peak hours
  • For Velachery or Thiruvanmiyur: alight at Saidapet and take the MRTS southbound

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 45B and A45B?

Both Route 45B and A45B run between Anna Square and Guindy TVK Estate via the same 10 stops. They are both ordinary services. A45B is a variant designation with a slightly different operating schedule — peak hour frequency on A45B is approximately one bus every 37 minutes versus 22 minutes for 45B. If both appear on your tracking app, take whichever arrives first.

What is LA45B?

LA45B is a limited stop service (LSS) running the same Anna Square to Guindy TVK Estate corridor with fewer intermediate halts. It is faster end to end but does not stop at all 10 stops. Check the front board before boarding to confirm it stops at your required stop.

How do I reach Anna University by Route 45B?

Alight at Guindy TVK Estate (stop 10, the terminus). Anna University’s main entrance is a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes from TVK Estate heading toward the CIPET and Anna University gate. Autos from TVK Estate to the university gate are also available.

Is there any heritage value along this route?

Route 45B passes or gives access to an exceptional concentration of heritage sites: Rajiv Gandhi Govt General Hospital (founded 1664), Parthasarathy Temple (8th century CE), Luz Church (circa 1516, reportedly Chennai’s oldest church), Vivekanandar Illam at Ice House (where Swami Vivekananda stayed in 1897), Anna Memorial and Karunanidhi Memorial at Anna Square, Presidency College (1840), and Raj Bhavan with the adjoining Guindy National Park.

Can I use Route 45B to reach Guindy Race Course?

Yes. Alight at Concorde (stop 9, one before the terminus). The Guindy Race Course is a short walk from the Concorde stop. The flat racing season runs from November to March.

The first bus from both Anna Square and Guindy TVK Estate departs at 5:45 AM. The last bus from both ends departs at approximately 10:00 PM.

Timetable Notes

1. Header row shows Trip 1, Trip 2… Times in data cells show departure from each stop for that trip. All times are calculated from the official 5:45 AM first bus and 10:00 PM last bus across approximately 78 daily trips.

2. Peak hours (yellow column headers): 7 AM to 10 AM and 5 PM to 8 PM. The average peak-time speed on this route is 18 km per hour (per MTC data). Expect delays of 15 to 25 minutes at the Saidapet to Guindy TVK Estate section during peak periods.

3. Effective peak frequency: Approximately one bus every 20 to 22 minutes during peak hours. The 11-minute average applies to the full operating day spread across all 78 trips.

4. Related variants: A45B (same stops, every 37 minutes peak) and LA45B (limited stop service) also operate on this corridor. Combined frequency of all 45-series variants gives a higher effective frequency at shared stops.

5. Always verify current timings at mtcbus.tn.gov.in before travel. Times subject to change by MTC without notice.
