Many a times, when I was searching for job, I used to wonder which bus to take, to go to the interview venue. And I am sure many of you would also have been through the same situation, may be for a different purpose like to visit a friend or relative, to see some one at a hospital etc.
So, what if you have the whole chennai bus route info in your pocket, I mean in your mobile? Yes, you can now download applications for Chennai bus and train routes on your Java based mobiles phones, which includes most of the Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Samsung phones.
You can download these application from www.chennaibus.info and www.chennaitrain.info. After downloading the zip files extract it and upload the .jar or .jad file on your phone. Some phones work with .jar some with .jad, check on the net which one your phone works with. For all SE phones, you can upload the .jar file.
Before you start using the applications, you have to register. Don't worry, its free. When you start the application for the first time, it will show you a License Pin. Enter the License Pin at the respective websites - chennaitrain and chennaibus, to receive a User Pin. Once you enter the User Pin in the application, you can start using it.
And if you find any bugs or errors in the application, or you want to send a feedback to the developers, just navigate to the "Contact Us" option in the application on your phone. I know many of you will download these applications and start using it as soon as you read this post. Please do inform the developers if you find any data inaccuracy in the bus and train route.

Hi Neeraj, it seems that the website doesn't exist. Could you please recheck again if the website is alive and the app is still available? Would really appreciate it, because I am a newcomer to the city and have to travel by bus often. Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Bindiya I wrote about this app in 2007. Its 2013 now, and may be they have shutdown operations. Their website is not alive anymore. I have a copy of the app with me but it won't work without the User Pin.
