Starting 2025, Kolkata Metro adds Rs 10 surcharge on night Blue Line rides to offset low occupancy costs.

Starting January 1, 2025, the Kolkata Metro will introduce a Rs 10 surcharge on night services tickets on the Blue Line to address low occupancy. The measure, initially planned for December, faced public criticism but will now be implemented to help cover the high costs of operating these late-night trains, which run from 10:40 pm on weekdays. The surcharge applies uniformly to all passengers regardless of distance traveled and will be reviewed based on its impact.
