    If you’re not in a rush, you could take the city bus from the airport to Chennai Central and then hop on a local bus heading to Mahabalipuram. Those buses start running around 16:30 and you’d arrive in roughly an hour and a half. The last train from Chennai to Chengalpattu leaves at about 18:30, so after 4 pm a cab is still the most reliable way to reach the Five Rathas without waiting.
