KOLKATA METRO RAIL ; THE PRIDE OF KOLKATA.

The Kolkata Metro or Calcutta Metro is a mass rapid transit system serving the city of Kolkata. The network consists of one operational line (Line 1) and five under construction Line. It was the first such form of transportation in India, opening commercial services in 1984. The service was planned for Kolkata first as roads account for only 4.2% of the surface area in Kolkata, compared to 25% in Delhi and even 30% in other cities. The network is partially underground and partially elevated. The details are as below:

Line 1 (North-South Metro)
Operational since 24th October, 1984. Total length: 28.14 Kilometers with 24 stations (15 stations are underground).

Line 2 (East-West Metro)
The length will be 14.67 km (8.9 km underground and 5.77 km elevated) with 12 stations. The project to connect Kolkata with Howrah by an underwater metro line, the metro will run 1,500 ft (460 m) under the Ganges River — the first underwater metro in India. The first phase will be operational in September 2015.

Line 3 (Joka-B.B.D. Bagh Metro)
A 16.72 km long metro line (13 stations) from Joka (in extreme South Kolkata) and B B D Bagh (in central Kolkata) is under construction. The proposed Esplanade station will not to be the same one as that of Line 1 (North-South Metro) but completely different stations. Park Street will serve as an interchange between Line 3 and Line 1.

Line 4 (Noapara-Barasat Metro)
The project to build a 18.5 km line (9 stations) from Noapara to Barasat via Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport[9] is sanctioned and construction work has commenced.

Line 5 (Baranagar-Barrackpore Metro)
A second metro line will emerge from Baranagar that will run up to Barrackpore. As of 2011, the line has been under construction. Length: 10 km with 11 stations.

Line 6 (New Garia-Airport Metro)
A connection between New Garia and the Airport (32 km, 24 stations) via E M Bypass, Saltlake and Rajarhat has started; it will help reduce travel time between the southern fringes of Kolkata to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport.


Total length of the network will be 120.03 km with 96 stations.
