Discrepancy
This entry claims, in its intro, that the Delhi Metro opened in 2004. The Delhi Metro article asserts 2002. One of them needs to be corrected. FWIW, this article originally said 2002 but in Dec 2005, someone changed it to 2004. Gyan (talk) 19:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Weasel words
The article has weasel words throughout. Adding the template tag. --Aveek (talk) 08:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Article Split
The article has been proposed to be split into two articles. Kolkata Metro Railway and Kolkata Metro with the former for the lines operated by Indian railway and the latter for the new transit system operated by KMRC. It will be similar to the two Tokyo Metros operated by different organizations. Please express your opinion on the proposed split. --Johnxxx9 (talk) 15:45, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's necessary, especially since there are only two lines. Jpatokal (talk) 06:20, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I concur with Jpatokal since KMRC is constructing only 1 line (East - West) and is just about 13.7 km. If they're proposing more corridors in future, we can split it up. :-) -- Coolguyche17 (talk) 21:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I would say that it should be split because Calcutta Metro will be extended in the future ( New extensions being proposed by Railway Minister,so it wont just a single line strech) & it uses a different operating technology(Read London Tubes ) & East West Metro is completely a different entity managed by a diffrent company sans Indian Railways.Hence I strongly pitch for the fact that East West Metro be segregated & should be titled 'Kolkata East west Metro'.However both the entities can come under Mass Rapid Transport System in Kolkata :-) .Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.189.169.182 (talk) 13:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment:I think it is a good idea but should be implemented after the inauguration of the East-West metro as we have no idea if the construction will proceed as planned. If all goes well, this article can be moved to Kolkata Metro Railway, Kolkata Metro article needs to be created and both should be linked through an article Kolkata Subway or a disambig page. I request the split tags to be removed from the article. -- WorLD8115  ( TalK )   06:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Current Syntax
Currently, in the route section this syntax is being followed:

Code: # Kavi Subhash metro station

Result: # Kavi Subhash metro station

Further Info
Kolkata Metro Railway - Official Site - for extention details — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.226.23.254 (talk) 06:45, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Point I want to highlight
It creates two different link (for this example Subhash Mukhopadhyay and Kavi Subhash Metro Station).

Positive point
The current syntax also gives information on the person on who the station is named.

Negative point
If someone creates on the first part of the link, it'll take to person's biography page which is not completely relevant.

Suggestion
I propose to change the syntax like this:

Code: # Kavi Subhash Metro Station, named after Bengali poet Subhash Mukhpadhyay

Result: # Kavi Subhash Metro Station, named after Bengali poet Subhash Mukhpadhyay --Tito Dutta (Talk) 11:12, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Route details should only be in Kolkata Metro Line 1, not in the overall general article about the metro system. All the individual station articles need to be expanded with the kind of information you are talking about, rather than creating an overly detailed list here. Sw2nd (talk) 16:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. He is talking about the syntax present on Kolkata Metro Line 1 (North-South Metro). Guitarist ( talk 07:33, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Suggested syntax is fine. The present syntax on the artilce looks odd. Guitarist ( talk 07:33, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Sunday working
Does it still have a bizarre Sunday opening time, viz about 14:00?!?! And more to the point, does anyone know '''why""? Are the staff sleeping off the HASH SESSION?! 81.178.246.203 (talk) 12:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Lines under construction?
The article makes the implausible claim that there are five lines simultaneously under construction already -- got source? AFAIK, only Line 2 is actually being worked on. Jpatokal (talk) 12:22, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

3rd Rail type
Is the 3rd rail:
 * bottom contact
 * side contact
 * top contact ?   Tabletop (talk) 11:56, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
