Commuters will be able to purchase multiple paper-based tickets with QR codes in a single transaction by Kolkata Metro Railway from February 28 in all lines except one, the authorities said on Thursday.
At present, only one paper-based QR ticket can be purchased at a time by anyone in a single transaction.
The move will help in reducing the queue length and waiting time for ticketing at the counters.
From February 28, up to seven paper-based QR tickets can be purchased in a single transaction on behalf of a commuter, the Metro Railway said in a statement.
This service will be available on all lines except the Purple Line (Joka-Majerhat).
Currently, train services are run in the Blue Line (Dakshineswar-New Garia), Orange Line (New Garia-Ruby Crossing), Green Line (Howrah Maidan-Esplanade) and Purple Line corridors of Metro Railway, Kolkata.
