A guide for inter-terminal travel in Kolkata.
HWH-KOAA / KOAA-HWH:
Kolkata chitpur is bit more inside the city and away from main lines. For here also you can take same pre-paid taxi. Or else you can even take Kolkata circular railway emu for Kolkata chitpur. The nearest station from HWH to board Circular railway is Barrabazar and Princepghat.
Barrabazar is just on

the other side of Howrah Bridge. Where as Princepghat is across hoogly on the strand road somewhat near to Babooghat. You can take ferry service to cross the hoogly. Yes its bit sightseeing kind of but a real heaven for railfans. The Kolkata circular railway frequency is very less throughout the day (hardly 12-13 trains a day), so plan accordingly. Or else Prepaid Taxi take nearly Rs 150 for this journey.
Buses for Chitpur are very very bleak in amount. So kindly don't opt for this.

I deliberately left the Bus option , considering that Kolkata Buses are very notorious when it comes to carrying passengers with luggage. They don't like people with Trolley/Suitcases as these cover up the useful area of bus.
But yes , if luggage is pretty less ,like single carry bag or back pack , then R G kar medical college bus service from HWH is the easiest option to reach KOAA.
