Mattuthavani Bus Terminus

Mattuthavani Bus Stand, officially M.G.R. Bus Stand, is an integrated bus terminus in the city of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. This is the third-largest bus terminus in Tamil Nadu after Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus and Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G.R. Bus Terminus in Chennai. It is one of the busiest bus terminals in south Tamil Nadu and one of the most important hubs in the state. In 2003, increased traffic led the Madurai Municipal Corporation to construct a new mofussil bus terminus that would complement the existing Pazhanganatham and Anna bus stations. After completion of the Madurai Ring Road project, the Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Terminus (MIBT) was constructed at a cost of ₹100 million (US$1.3 million) rupees and spread over an area of 18 acres (7.3 ha). The government of Tamil Nadu renamed it M.G.R. Bus Stand on 31 October 2017 to honour the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu M. G. Ramachandran (M.G.R.).
