This time Digital Desk: Metro discounts for seniors. An e-pass will not be required on the metro for seniors from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm. Older people may travel by metro showing their certificate of age and their ID. Metro authorities issued such guidelines. The rules for riding the Metro New Normal Kolkata have changed a lot. No tokens or smart cards. It’s easy to get on the metro just by reserving an electronic pass through the app. However, older people in the city face many difficulties in this method. Upon learning of that, the Kolkata metro authorities relaxed the rules for them.
After 175 days, even if the subway door opens for ordinary passengers, it will take them to New Normal. The right to enter only if you have an e-ticket for a particular slot in hand. Passengers are also missing. The Metro, which was relaunched on Monday, has been used by everyone throughout the day. A new notice was issued on Tuesday indicating the ease with which the elderly can ride the subway from now on. According to the notification, you will be allowed to enter the subway counter only if you show some type of identity card, such as Aadhaar card, voter card, PAN card, passport, driver’s license at the subway counter. Then you can travel by metro with your smart card. If you don’t have a smart card, you can pick it up from the counter and ride the subway. However, this facility will be available from 11.30 am to 4.30 pm for seniors traveling to the city subway.
Metro had previously said it would carry 6 lakh of passengers a day. In New Normal, that number drops to 50,000 a day in Mereket. But on the first day, on the 10 am to 6 pm trip, it dropped below twenty thousand. At 10:10 am, Noapara’s rampage stopped, with six passengers in 6 rooms from the coat rack. 24 people got on the shelf at Dumdum station. With a total of 30 passengers, the racket left for Belgachhia. Under normal circumstances, the room door cannot be closed due to the crowds of passengers at this time. Now the maximum number of passengers per subway compartment is 50 to comply with safety regulations.
LP Kothari, 64, a resident of Kailash Bose Road, arrived at Tollygunge subway station without an electronic pass. Could not download e-pass because there is no browser on the phone. In the end he did not enter the station.
