Dog takes Metro ride from Anna Nagar to Koyambedu

CHENNAI Around 7.30 p.m. on Thursday (November 5, 2026), when hundreds of people were rushing home on the Metro train, an unexpected four-legged commuter joined them for a ride. At Anna Nagar Tower Metro station, a dog entered through the exit staircase, slipped under the ticketing gates, and made its way onto the platform, even as the staff chased it. Just as the dog reached the platform, a train entered the station, and it quickly slipped into the women’s coach.

The passengers were surprised to see this four-legged commuter. Meanwhile, the staff had followed the animal into the train, but they could not get the dog out before the train started, sources said. “The staff travelled along with the dog. But the animal did not disturb any of the passengers,” a source said.

The dog was brought out of the train at Koyambedu Metro Rail station. The station after Anna Nagar Tower is Tirumangalam, which is an underground station.
