CSK will be providing 8000 quality metal whistles to bus conductors in Chennai, replacing the existing plastic whistles.
The whistle has always had a special association with Chennai, not just the Super Kings. While the fans' whistles have kept Chennai Super Kings 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) Limited (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."
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.
