Good News For Kolkata: Metro To Increase Frequency Of Trains Reducing Waiting Time

Kolkata: Kolkata Metro has decided to run additional services along the North-South corridor from January 13 on a trial basis, an official statement said.

Fourteen additional services (seven up and down each) would be run from Monday to Saturday between Noapara and Kavi Subhash along the Blue Line in peak hours in the morning (9 am to 11 am) and evening (5 pm to 8 pm) on a trial basis.
