India, Sept. 23 -- The Kolkata Metro has introduced a Tourist Smart Card, allowing users to enjoy unlimited rides for either three or five days. This initiative is designed to manage the expected festive rush during the Durga Puja celebrations. The cards are perfect for those who plan to go pandal-hopping and need to board and disembark the metro multiple times a day. Importantly, the validity of the tourist card is not restricted to just the Durga Puja dates; it can also be used before and after the festivities.
