Bus ticket cost from Chennai to Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari districts will be between ₹2,300 and ₹2,500. The updated fare list can be found on the Tamil Nadu Bus Operators Association website (https://www.toboa.in/). The association has released the list fixing maximum fare price for buses operating on 450 routes within and outside Tamil Nadu.

The omni bus fare from Chennai to Coimbatore is currently at ₹1,760, which is at least 20% higher than the ticket cost of Chennai-Coimbatore Vande Bharat (₹1,365). Fares on the premium intercity express trains from Chennai to cities like Tirunelveli, Nagercoil, Bengaluru, Mysuru and on the Madurai-Bengaluru route is around 20% cheaper than non-AC seater omni buses in Tamil Nadu.
