The whistle has always had a special association with
Chennai, not just the Super Kings.
While the fans’ whistles have kept five time winners and reigning champions
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) going, another whistle has kept the city running
for decades – that of the bus conductor’s.
Through a special partnership with the Metropolitan Transport Corporation
(Chennai) (MTC), the Chennai Super Kings will be providing 8000 quality
metal whistles to bus conductors around the city, replacing the existing
plastic whistles.
Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited CEO KS Viswanathan said: “Chennai Super
Kings is pleased to provide whistles to conductors of MTC buses. The whistle
has always been integrally associated with CSK and Chennai.
It’s also a small step towards reduction in plastic usage as the metal whistles last
long.
“Plenty of fans have already benefitted from our special partnership with MTC
this season, wherein fans with match tickets can travel free on buses on match
days. We’re glad to put smiles on the faces of public and the bus conductors”,
he said, according to a CSK release here on Monday.
Chennai Super Kings have a special partnership with MTC this season to
enhance fan convenience and experience during the home matches at MA
Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk.
Fans with tickets for Chennai Super Kings’ home matches can travel in MTC
buses (non A/C) at no additional cost from three hours prior to the start of the
match, with the match tickets doubling up as the travel tickets.
