Chennai, India's fourth-largest urban agglomeration, has a well-established Suburban Railway Network, which dates back to 1931, when services began on the metre-gauge line from Beach to Tambaram.
The frequency of the MRTS is also less than that of the suburban lines, though the headway is expected to come down after the stretch to Velachery is completed.
This is because the MRTS is considered to be an elevated extension of the Suburban Network and not a Metro System, as such.
