Metro Travel

Kolkata's efficient metro system connects the airport with Garia, a South Kolkata locality that's the southernmost stop on the route. Tickets cost Rs. 5 for a 5-km (3-mile) ride and are available from machines and windows in every station. New routes have been added, with elevated lines joining the far-flung neighborhood of the expanding city to the airport and business district. Check www.kmrc.in for the latest changes.
