Today, August 22, 2025, is a milestone for Kolkata’s public transport! Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially inaugurated 14 km of new Metro lines, ushering in a new era of connectivity and convenience. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and why it matters:

A pivotal 2.45 km underground stretch finally bridges Howrah and Sealdah stations, cutting a daunting road commute from nearly 40 minutes to just 11 minutes.

Yellow Line (Noapara ↔ Jai Hind Airport)
Kolkata’s first direct Metro link to the airport—a crucial 6–7 km stretch. Travel time is under 12 minutes, and fares are super affordable at just ₹5–₹10.

Orange Line Extension (Ruby ↔ Beleghata)
A newly opened 4.4 km link enhancing access to Science City, IT hubs, and hospitals along the EM Bypass corridor.
