Kolkata Metro Introduces Tourist Smart Card for Durga Puja
The Kolkata Metro has a new card for visitors called the Tourist Smart Card.
It lets you ride the metro as many times as you want for a set number of days.
There are two cards: one for three days and another for five days.
You buy the card at the metro station.
It works like a regular smart card, just tap and go.
It helps people travel easily during the Durga Puja festival, when lots of people are moving around.
After the festival, you can still use it or recharge it.
Kolkata Metro launched a Tourist Smart Card for unlimited rides.
The card is for both tourists and locals during Durga Puja.
There are 3-day and 5-day card options available.
Cards are available at all metro station booking counters.
The card can be used like a regular smart card and recharged later.
