'''Iyyappanthangal''' is a western neighborhood of [[Chennai]], [[Tamilnadu]], [[India]]. It comes under Mangadu Municipality of [[Chennai]] Metropolitan Area (CMA), governed by CMDA. It is located {{Convert|20|km}} away from [[Fort St George]] on the [[Mount-Poonamallee Road]]. The nearest railway stations are at [[Guindy]] (Chennai South Line) about {{Convert|11|km}} away and [[Avadi]] (Chennai West Line) about {{Convert|12|km}} away. The [[Porur]] Junction where a much needed road overbridge on the busy Guindy–Poonamallee stretch was built after a very long delay of nearly five years is just about 2&nbsp;km from Iyyapanthangal and the [[Poonamallee]] Junction is just about 6&nbsp;km from the town.<br />

The six-acre Iyyappanthangal bus terminus was opened in 1994.<ref>http://www.mtcbus.org/DepotUnits.asp</ref> It operates 162 buses<ref>http://www.mtcbus.org/Places.asp?cboSourceStageName=IYAPPANTHANGAL&submit=Search.&cboDestStageName=</ref> to places such as [[Koyambedu]], [[Tambaram]], Kundrathur, Sommangalam, Kovalam, Sunguvachattiram, [[Parrys Corner]], [[Anna Salai]], [[Tambaram]], [[T Nagar]] and Mint. About 150,000 commuters take buses from here daily.<br />
<br />
The state highways department undertook renovation of the terminus at a cost of {{INR}} 4.1 million in March 2010. The work to lay the concrete floor within the terminus area has begun. Among the 25 MTC depots, this is the first terminus to be taken up for renovation. The renovation includes construction of a compound wall, replacement of old lights, creating concrete parking areas for buses, installation of electronic sign boards, and raising the level of the terminus 1.5 feet above the height of Mount-Poonamallee High Road to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon. Facilities for toilets and drinking water for both passengers and MTC staff was also planned. Iyyappanthangal Bus Depot was one of the top most collection in revenue in Chennai in 2000s.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121106061409/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-30/chennai/29944532_1_terminus-mtc-depots-iyyappanthangal Iyyappanthangal bus terminus remains incomplete even one year after deadline]</ref><br />
