Kolkata Metro Launches QR Return Tickets
The Kolkata Metro has started a new service where you can buy a single ticket with a QR code for both your onward and return trips.
This means you don't have to buy another ticket when you go back.
You just show the same QR code.
But remember, you have to finish your return trip on the same day as your first trip.
This service is available on all Metro lines and is being tested to see how it works.
It's meant to help people save time, avoid long lines at the ticket counters, and even switch between different Metro lines if needed.
The ticket is a special paper ticket with a QR code on it.

Passengers can use the QR code for return journey without buying a new ticket.
Return journey must be completed on the same date as the initial journey.
