Kolkata Metro Introduces QR-Based Return Tickets
The Kolkata Metro has introduced a new system where commuters can buy multiple paper-based tickets with QR codes in a single transaction.
Before this, they could only buy one ticket at a time.
This change helps to make the ticketing process faster and reduces the long lines at the counters.
It's a convenient way for people to get their tickets quickly and easily.
Kolkata Metro now allows purchasing multiple paper-based QR tickets in a single transaction.
Previously, commuters could only buy one paper-based QR ticket at a time.
The new feature aims to reduce queue length and waiting time at ticket counters.
This initiative was introduced last year.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to improve the commuting experience in Kolkata.
