*Kharagpur to Calcutta
As I raced for my EMU, BBS Rajdhani came on the side track in all its majesty. The Gitanjali had just left ahead of us. As our train started[and we xinged with lots of freight trains, seriously, there is no dearth of freights here]. In terms of passenger trains, we xinged with the Yesvantpur Duronto and the funnily named Howrah Madras Howrah AC Exp[I haven't seen any train using 'Madras' instead of 'Chennai' in this era].It's good that...

I was quite disappointed at seeing the state of Kolkata. Their bus transit system is inferior to that of Delhi[Ac and/or Low floor buses are still a minority]. Sure the prices are cheap and stuff, but it needs improvement. The tram system is purely there for historic value. It is hardly viable for them to function in such dense areas. The Ambassador taxis are good though[there is something about that classic yellow livery].
The thing that left me the most infuriated was their metro system. How did they develop their system that none of the railway stations is connected[in Delhi, 3 of the 5 major terminals is directly connected]?

East-West Metro section is being built which will connect the Salt Lake sec V to Howrah Maidan. This route would connect the Sealdah railway station with Howrah railway station. In this section an underground tunnel beneath the Hooghly river would be constructed to connect Howrah city to Kolkata city. The work for this metro is expected to be operational by 2019.
