After successful implementation of “No Booking Counter Station” in Purple and Orange Lines , Metro Railway,Kolkata is going to introduce one “No Booking Counter Station” in Green Line-1 from 19.12.2024 (Thursday) at Bengal Chemical Metro station.

In this station no booking counter will remain open for issuing tokens, new Smart Cards or recharging Smart Cards from that day and no booking staff will be present. Instead, passengers will purchase their tokens, Smart Cards, Paper QR Code Based Tickets from Automatic Smart Card Recharge Machines (ASCRM) and also by using Metro Ride Kolkata App with the help of their Smart Phones. They can also recharge their Smart Cards from Automatic Smart Card Recharge Machines (ASCRM). For this reason, ASCRM machines have already been installed at this station.

Metro Railway, Kolkata solicits help and co-operation from all the stakeholders to make this a success.
