Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) operates convenient air-conditioned bus services from Madurai Arappalayam bus stand to Salem new bus stand. These TNSTC-operated AC buses provide a comfortable and efficient travel option for passengers making the journey between these two major Tamil Nadu cities. The direct route eliminates the need for transfers, saving time and reducing travel hassle.
Travelers should note that these services are distinct from those that run by the State Express Transport Corporation (SETC). While SETC buses operate from Mattuthavani bus stand, TNSTC buses depart from Arappalayam bus stand. This distinction is important for passengers to ensure they arrive at the correct departure point. The journey takes around 6 hours to cover the 280 kilometers. AC Bus fare is ₹250.
For up-to-date information on TNSTC bus schedules, fares, and amenities, it’s advisable to check with the local TNSTC office or their official website. Planning your trip in advance can help ensure a smooth, air-conditioned journey between Madurai’s Arappalayam and Salem bus stands.
