Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Stand is a mofussil bus terminus in Mattuthavani, Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. The bus stand is one of the largest bus terminus in Tamil Nadu.[2]

History

Increased traffic led the Madurai municipal corporation to replace the original three bus terminals with a new mofussil bus terminus that would integrate the Palanganatham bus station and Anna bus station. After completion of the Madurai Ring road project, these stations were successfully integrated into Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Terminus (MIBT). It was built at a cost of ₹10 crore (US$1.5 million),[3] spread over an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha).[4]
