Kolkata, Date: 12.03.2024
Metro services on the three newly inaugurated stretches of Green Line, Orange Line, and Purple Line are going to start from 15.03.2024 (Friday) morning much to the delight of the residents of Kolkata and adjoining areas. In order to provide smooth services to all Metro commuters, Metro Authorities have taken adequate measures. For the convenience of the commuters, an Integrated Ticketing System (ITS) will be in place so that any commuter can switch to any corridor (Green, Blue, and Orange) through the interchanging stations (Esplanade and Kavi Subhash) by purchasing tickets 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. The AFC-PC gates of all the stations have been upgraded accordingly. At present, no integrated ticket for the Purple Line will be sold.
Apart from the integrated tickets, commuters will also be able to travel with Mobile QR Code tickets purchased using the Metro Ride Kolkata App and paper-based QR Code tickets on the Howrah Maidan to Esplanade stretch of the Green Line only. They can also use the existing Smart Cards to avail of Metro services on these three newly inaugurated stretches.
Since the last service on the Kavi Subhash to Hemanta Mukhopadhyay stretch of Orange Line will leave the terminal stations at 16.40 hrs, 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 15.30 hrs.
