[edit] Bus stop
Madhya Kailash is famous for its associated bus stop, which is an important stop for MTC buses. There are actually two bus stops: one on Sardar Patel Road, and the other at the beginning of Old Mahabalipuram Road. The bus stop on Sardar Patel Road is the more important one, and all MTC buses are supposed to stop here. The bus stop is also called the CLRI bus stop because CLRI is located opposite it.
Madhya Kailash is also a terminus for many buses operated for private companies such as Tata Consultancy Services.
