Kolkata Metro services on two new routes — Joka-Taratala and Garia-Ruby — are anticipated to begin by the end of 2022, making commuting in Kolkata less difficult shortly. According to an official, the East-West Metro - which runs from Salt Lake City to Howrah through Kolkata - is also anticipated to begin service over its whole length by August 2023. "Commercial services are most likely to start before the end of this year between New Garia and Ruby Crossing, and Joka-Taratala," the Metro Railway official told PTI. If there are no further significant roadblocks, according to the official, the entire 16.6 km East-West Metro route connecting Sector V in Salt Lake City with Howrah Maidan is projected to be finished between June and August 2023.
