Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Travlling by the Metro is a unique experience. Despite being over 4 decades old the Metro is still in good shape - perhaps got modernised in the past few years. It offers q quick connection between key places and keeps you away from the maddening traffic of the city. A 30 min. ride from Maidan to Dakshineswar costed us Rs. 20 per head.

The Kolkata metro is India's oldest metro and the best part is, it it not just still in service, but also maintained spick and span despite all the crowds. Platforms and compartments are both clean and trains run on time. Definitely worth a one time travel just to evoke fond memories.

I had been wanting to visit Kolkata & take a ride in the metro train there for since I remember. Finally I had a chance to go to Kolkata & then travel in the metro train. I got in at Kalighat station & went all the way to Neopara station. From Kalighat I had to leave 3 trains as they were overcrowded & finally got into the 4th train.
It was a good trip. Crowd dwindled slowly and finally managed to get a seat as well.
I was happy with the journey & the new Neopara station too was very well constructed. I was impressed with the architecture there.

Very clean, easy to use, all the signs are in English and so cheap to travel on. It is very safe, even for single ladies, you might get a few stares but nothing more. The only downside is it gets very, very busy, but don't all city metros?

We took a family member’s suggestion to take the Metro from LKO airport.
It was very good. Took just about 35 minutes.
Price: just Rs50 per person!!!
Clean, plenty to room, wheelchair availability, feeling to safety and security, helpful and proactive staff - it was a good experience.
Must promote this mode of transportation for the sake of the environment and convenience.

On the last Christmas i was to visit a friend for a reunion. And i lost my purse at shyambazar metro station.
When i got to park street station i realized i don't have it with me. I went back to check and nothing was found.
The authority didn't allow to check the cctv footage. And weren't cooperative about my missing belongings.
However i still rate it 4 for i am a frequent traveler . But that incident was unpleasant , saddening.

Kolkata Metro Rail is the Oldest Metro Rail in India. Now days delhi and Bangalore also have Metro Rail and Chennai Metro is coming soon. But Kolkata Metro is different. You will feel different when you ride on Kolkata Metro Rail. Because unlike Delhi, Bangalore Kolkata metro run on tunnels under the street and not running in bridge. You can say its a Heritage metro. However Kolkata metro don't look modern as Delhi and Bangalore as its Oldest one. You should ride once in your lifetime to get a Heritage Experience.

A real fast mode of transport in Kolkata, but very crowded during peak hours. You are packed like sardines and sometimes you feel suffocated. You must travel during lean hours to enjoy the ride as we did.

It is cheap and best way to travel in Kolkata with superfast speed. But, it is in very limited. The extension work should be completed within time so that it may become the lifeline of Kolkata.
