== Public Transport ==
There are many bus lines throughout the city, they all have numbers, yet on the beginning the system can be chaotic. Every bus has a conductor who shouts the destination and collects the fare. You can wave the bus almost everywhere even though there are bus stops. One ride is usually 15-20 rupees (Mar 2023). Most buses go to Esplanade which could be considered the city centre and to Howrah which is the main railway station. Google Maps shows many lines but not all and some lines were cut off on the map. Use it with a limited trust.
There are three metro lines in Kolkata the most useful one would be line 1 also called Blue Line. It runs north-south and passes through Esplanade and Maidan where most tourist attractions can be found. The fare depends on the distance, a ten stations ride costs 20 rupees (Mar 2023).
Local trains can be useful in order to get to good hitchhiking locations and are extremely cheap, five stations ride is 5 rupees, ten stations is 10 rupees (Mar 2023). The best way to find trains is to use an app called Where is my train, however if your Google Play Store is not registered in India you won't find the original app and only some knock offs which don't provide accurate information. You can download the original app for example from Uptodown.
