Choosing a station for central sights

Park Street, Maidan and Rabindra Sadan sit in that order on the Blue Line, so you can choose a station based on which part of central Kolkata you’re heading toward. All three are on the same line, and travelling between them does not require a line interchange.

A one-day Kolkata route can help arrange central stops into a day.

Use the official Kolkata Metro map alongside the station names and codes to identify your line and stop. The Blue Line sequence runs Park Street, Maidan, then Rabindra Sadan. Metro Railway Kolkata’s station-distance table places Park Street 9.618 km, Maidan 10.345 km and Rabindra Sadan 11.361 km from Dum Dum.

The operator’s official fare matrix covers the Blue, Green and Orange corridors and identifies the codes for these three stations. Check the map and fare matrix together before setting out, particularly if your journey goes beyond the central Blue Line stops.

The operator’s customer commitment charter gives Blue Line service hours as 06:40–22:29 on weekdays, Saturdays and holidays, and 09:00–22:29 on Sundays. It also publishes revised timetables, so schedules can differ from the charter. For Green Line services, separate revised timetables are published for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
