Kolkata Metro Extends Yellow Line to Birati Post-Airport Clearance

Kolkata Metro has officially extended its Yellow Line to Birati after receiving necessary clearances from airport authorities. This extension marks a significant milestone in improving the city's transit network and enhancing connectivity for commuters.

This expansion aligns with Kolkata Metro's broader goal of increasing accessibility and reducing travel time across the city. The extension is anticipated to boost local economies and improve overall urban mobility by integrating key areas within the metro network.
