Kolkata Metro Ridership Reaches New Peak

Kolkata Metro has achieved a record-breaking milestone with its monthly ridership reaching 2 crore passengers, signaling a significant rise in demand for metro services in the city. The surge is attributed to operational enhancements, including increased frequency, extended coverage, and better connectivity to key areas. The East-West Metro Corridor and the North-South lines have been particularly popular, serving daily commuters, tourists, and residents across Kolkata’s metropolitan area. As metro services have expanded, ease of travel and reduced commute times have driven more residents to choose this public transport option over personal vehicles, alleviating road congestion and reducing pollution. Authorities aim to maintain this upward trend by introducing new technologies, enhancing safety measures, and optimizing service efficiency. Kolkata Metro is also planning further expansions to accommodate rising demand and to integrate more densely populated areas into its network.
