KKD Nagar-

KKD Nagar Terminus is the heart of Kodungaiyur's Transportation system, as it is the major and most popular bus terminus here. Though Frequent buses are available to Parrys & Central, this terminus is badly in need of more bus services to most parts of South Chennai.

Parvathi Nagar-

There is also a smaller bus terminus located at Parvathy Nagar in north western section of the locality. Though there are good number of daily commuters from this area,the frequency of Bus services are very limited (in fact they are timed services) to this terminus as the stretch Kamarajar salai->Thiruvalluvar street->Manali road (from Moolakadai towards Chinna Kodungaiyur) is very narrow with encroachments & unauthorised parking of vehicles on both the sides of the road making the drivers often feel difficult to drive the bus in this route.

Earlier Horse Carts were running in this route,but it has been stopped now .

Still many residents in Chinna Kodungaiyur, residents east of Manali road goto Kaviyarasu Kanadasan (KKD) Nagar bus terminus and residents west of Manali road goto Arul Nagar (Madhavaram milk clolony) bus stop. Residents of Periya Kodungaiyur goto Moolakadai bus stop to catch buses to their destinations. some of the bus routes from here are M46C to CMBT(Koyambedu), M38D to Thiruvottiyur, M116L to Broadway.

The other smaller terminus is located at Muthamil Nagar and the only bus route is M116 to Brodway.

As there is no railway line passing through kodungaiyur, residents normally go to Perambur (nearest railway station) or Vyasarpadi Jeeva to travel in trains.
