    Esplanade is the entire stretch from Dhormotola (Lenin Sarani) to Chandpal Ghat. The word "Esplanade" means an open area near/alongside a river. So, only a part of Dhormotola and Esplanade are the same. Sorry for the pedantry.

    Kolkata not only handles population of it's own city, but total state, and also good portion of Eastern India and also our neighboring countries. Thus the traffic system is an incredible one. Traffic police of Calcutta performs an incredible job. Salute their effort. But reinstating of modern tram system is the need of the hour. Government must rethink about it.

    I am born and brought up in Kolkata. Trams has special place in my heart as well but it has many shortcomings with very less benefit. 1.It is the biggest cause of two wheeler accident in Kolkata due to slippery metal lines. 2.Tram stops are in middle of the road with no sync with traffic lights so its a hazrat to get up and down from trams. 3. Trams are slow- it can pickup speed with time but breaks are not prompt either. 4. Power cut or power cable snaps means it will remain in the middle of the road unless power is restored. This causes traffic jams and unreliable mode of transport for passengers as well. Metro rails is its own problems but its far more effective than trams.

    I agree Kolkata has one of the best public transportation system. Some idiots will say people in Kolkata are poor so they use less private cars, they prefer cheap transportation bla, bla, bla..but they should know that is why Public Transportation is being focused on all over India now..to decongest road, save precious petrol-diesel, time and pollution. The Dakhineswar extension has immensely helped the ppl of North Suburban Kolkata.

    You just want to be hide the truth. Kolkata is the only gem of West Bengal. People in Kolkata has private vehicles and the ownership is increasing day by day. The traffic though not as bad as Bangalore is equally very bad. I mean there aren't many cities which has an hour and half travel time for mere 12 kms. From 8B to howrah is a nightmare by bus. Bongs prefer cheap transportation because of their Communist hangover. If there's an increase of mere 1 to 2 rupees in bus fare, you have all the commie pigs jamming the roads and all. And transportation? Have you even seen the condition of buses of Kolkata? Or the yellow taxi? Gosh!! You must be living in some parallel Kolkata i assume.

    The tunneling work under the river is actually complete. The Howrah and Howrah Maidan stations will reach completion soon. The only challenge in this line now is the construction of a few "safety" tunnels in the Bowbazar (between Sealdah and Esplanade) section. Due to many old, dilapidated buildings being located in the area, and the soil being unstable, tunneling has faced major hurdles and the cost has mounted significantly.

    Kolkata is much better in terms of public transport system and fast commute than lot of other cities. It's a massive city in terms of length and breadth. The EM bypass connecting South to extreme north is massive, there are 4 bridges over the ganges connecting Kolkata district to howrah and hoogly. With the metro completion the city's traffic will become faster. Ferry services across ganga should be improved more. Port trust which for no reason chokes parts of the ganga banks with its defunct warehouses should rebuild those places with better ferry stations

Excellent taxi services, auto services, metro, trams, rikshaws. I have been to many cities, there is no other cities in the World like it. If you have Rs50 in ur pocket u can go back and forth to any corner of the city just by bus. The cheap busses dont look too cool but it does the job pretty efficiently. Traffic management is best to none in India. Plus there are local trains running from South to North. Everything is dirt cheap except for Uber or Ola. But they offer two wheeler and even rikshaw services which are affordable.

The only lifeline here is the Sealdah South Railway which is crowded round-the-clock and becomes inhumanly crowded during office hours. With Baruipur becoming distict HQ of S-24Parganas district, the crowd is going to grow exponentially, but the existing railway has no scope for expansion. An alternative metro-like arrangement is urgently needed.

    It's very surprising that no one thinks about extending present Dakhineswar Metro upto Bali Station at Howrah, directly connecting Bardhaman Main, Bardhaman Chord, Dankuni & Hooghly regions through Railway lines and Roads. Probable Costing to implement this short stint but commercially viable Metro project from Dakhineswar to Bally Railway station will not be high at all, even metro lines, like E-W netro may go under the Hooghly river. Now, who will think for such important metro augmentation ?

    WB has the sixth largest economy. Second fastest growing amongst large states. Kolkata is the third biggest by population and GDP. Forget politics. Growth of the city is happening more now than previously. It has nothing to do with politics but more to do with the fact that there was a dormant opportunity to setup industries which is happening gradually now because other cities like Bangalore and Mumbai are over saturated. Many new finance and IT companies are setting up shop here. Kolkata has the best public transport infra after Delhi and is the cheapest metro city to live in. Kolkata topped Indian cities in both real estate market sales and office space sold in the last two years. So please don't say the city and the state has no future. The future of the state and India both are bright.

    I am goong to tell you all the major extensions that kolkata metro are not planning but which i think would be gamechangers. 1. Extend blue line from dakshineshwar to dankuni 2. Extend blue line from kavi subhash to baruipur 3. Extend yellow line from barasat to habra 4. Extend pink line from barrackpore to kalyani. 5. Make new line from taratala with interchange to purple line. It should go upto budge budge. After this is done make 4 major rrts routes 1. Kolkata-Bardhaman 2. Kolkata-Kharagpur 3. Kolkata-Krishnanagar 4. Kolkata-Haldia. All these ideas would be game changer. U could even intruduce vande metro from howrah to kharagpur and bardhaman and haldia. And make vande metro from sealdah to krishnanagar. That is if u don't have budget for rrts.

    I am not a mamta fan by any means, and I lived in the city in the late 1980s. despite less vehicles it was way harder to travel, partly due to arteries dug out for metro. Now when I go its the most easy to travel of Indian metros. Fastest. Partly traffic management. partly building lots of flyovers. partly metro etc. Kolkata has developed amazingly. Each time I wonder if they are so poor how come there are new cool cafes and restaurants and bars popping up every time I visit. Malls are buzzing. lots of really creative and arty shopping. New town used to be like a desert, now its also kind of congested. What is fueling the growth? Definitely Kolkata under Mamta is a buzzing city where even the poor also manage a comfortable life. I think only corporate jobs are missing, but I predict in ten years things will change. Oh newtown looks great too.

I went to college in 2018 and by the time I passed my first semester the line I travelled in opened completely and by the time I graduated it formed a complete ring around the city. Meanwhile I go to my home town. The same linear singular metro line since the past decade, even the names are so confusing, sure name it on famous personalities but how are outsiders gonna know what station it is?

    Such a nice presentation. But some things I want to add that Kolkata is the only metro that comes under Indian Railway and others are Private that makes the kolkata metro fare is cheaper than the other metros. Because of a multiple political intervention and govt organizations the process is much slower for the last 2 decades however now it catch the pace. Also the orange Line will be the fastest metrorail in India. Kolkata traffic management us much better than Bengaluru, Mumbai. During peak hours or in shower time traffic and public transportation is horrible in Bengaluru. Delhi traffic is best in our country due to it's sheer metro network.

    For people commenting that there's far lesser congestion in Kolkata than Bangalore, you guys need to understand that Kolkata isn't handling an office going population of Bangalore. Hence, it looks good and rosy. The city will start facing problem if at all it develops, which probably is not on cards right now. It has become a glorified village, where people visit their parents once an year during vacation because everyone lives out of Kolkata.
