I travelled in City bus from Anna Square bus stand in Chennai, there are more bus frequencies with AC Volvo, Deluxe are available from Anna Square and Broadway to Akkarai. All the buses towards Kelambakkam, Mamallapuram and Kovalam are will stop at Akkarai. This stop is just next to VGP Universal Kingdom when you come from Anna Squre.
