INTEGRATED TICKET FOR 3 METRO CORRIDORS TO BE SOLD FROM COUNTERS ONLY

Kolkata, March 12, 2024

                Metro services on the three newly inaugurated stretches of Green Line, Orange Line and Purple Line are going to start from Friday (March 15, 2024) morning much for the benefits of the residents of Kolkata and adjoining areas who are going to opt for Metro rides for quick travelling to the destination.

In order to provide smooth services to all Metro commuters, the Metro authorities have taken adequate measures like arranging for Integrated Ticketing System (ITS) for helping a commuter switch to any corridor (Green, Blue and Orange) through the interchanging stations (Esplanade and Kavi Subhash) by purchasing ticket once.  This integrated ticket will be sold from the counters only. No Integrated Ticket will be sold from the ASCRM machines of any station of Green Line, Blue Line and Orange Line. AFC-PC gates of all the stations have been upgraded accordingly. At present, no integrated ticket for the Purple Line will be sold.

    This apart, the commuters will also be able to travel with Mobile QR Code tickets purchased using Metro Ride Kolkata App and Paper Based QR Code tickets on Howrah Maidan to Esplanade stretch of Green Line only.  They can also use the existing Smart Cards in availing Metro services on these three newly inaugurated stretches.

           Since the last service on Kavi Subhash to Hemanta Mukhopadhyay stretch of Orange Line will leave the terminal stations at 4.40 pm, the sale of integrated tickets for this Corridor from all station counters of Howrah Maidan to Esplanade stretch of Green Line will be stopped from 3.30 pm.
