Kolkata Metro will run extra services today for the West Bengal Civil Service (WBCS) preliminary examination. Tens of thousands of candidates need reliable transport to reach venues across the city. Trains on the Blue Line and Green Line will start much earlier today. This move ensures students reach their exam centers well before the start time.
Regular Sunday services usually begin much later in the morning for Kolkata commuters. For the exam, the first trains will depart at 7 am on both lines. This timing applies to the Dakshineswar to Kavi Subhash and Sealdah routes. Early starts provide a vital cushion for those traveling from the suburban areas. Aspirants can now plan their commutes without worrying about the usual Sunday delays.

The authorities have added ten extra services along the North-South corridor today. These additional trips will reduce the gap between trains during the morning rush. The Green Line connecting Sealdah to Salt Lake will also see higher frequency. Official staff expect heavy crowds near major hubs like Kalighat and Rabindra Sadan.
