Kolkata Metro Introduces UPI Payment-Based Ticketing System

Kolkata Metro is set to launch a UPI payment-based ticketing system at booking counters of all Blue Line stations. Previously available only at Automatic Smart Card Recharge Machines and Green Line stations, this system will simplify fare payments for passengers, eliminating the need for exact currency.

Kolkata Metro has announced that UPI payment-based ticketing will soon be available at all booking counters of Blue Line stations (Dakshineswar-New Garia), enhancing passenger convenience.

Previously, this system was only implemented in Automatic Smart Card Recharge Machines (ASCRM) in Blue Line stations and in booking counters of Green Line 1 and Green Line 2 corridors, making fare payments easier and avoiding the need for exact currency notes and coins.

With the integration of UPI at Blue Line counters, facilitated by State Bank of India and Centre for Railway Information Systems, the journey will become more seamless for commuters traveling through Kolkata's historic Metro network.
