The then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Bidhan Chandra Roy, reconceived the idea of an underground railway for Kolkata in the early 1949–1950. However, in 1923, the proposal was not undertaken due to a lack of funds. All the reports can be found in his 1921 book Calcutta Tube Railways. An east–west metro railway connection, named the "East–West Tube Railway", was proposed for Kolkata in 1921 by Harley Dalrymple-Hay. Crum also mentioned a north–south corridor back then.

The tickets were priced at 3 annas ( ₹ 0.1875) for the full trip. The proposed line was 10.4 km (6.5 mi) long, about 4 km (2.5 mi) shorter than the current East-West Corridor, which would connect East Bengal Railway in Bagmari and East Indian Railway in Benaras Road. The estimated construction costs were £3,526,154, about ₹36.4 crore (equivalent to ₹60 billion or US$750 million in 2020) based on current exchange rates, and the proposed deadline was 1925–1926.
This line was supposed to connect Bagmari in the east to Benaras Road, Salkia, in Howrah in the west via a tunnel beneath Hooghly River.
Crum that recommended a metro line for Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). In the September 1919 session of the Imperial Legislative Council at Shimla, a committee was set up by W. There are around 300 daily train trips carrying more than 700,000 passengers. It is the only metro in the country to be controlled by Indian Railways. On 29 December 2010, Metro Railway, Kolkata, became the 17th zone of the Indian Railways, completely owned and funded by the Ministry of Railways. Metro Railway, Kolkata and Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation are the owners and operator of the system. It is the fifth-longest operational metro network in India after the Delhi Metro, Hyderabad Metro, Namma Metro and Chennai Metro. Line 2, or the East–West Corridor, opened in 2020. The first underground stretch, from Bhawanipore (now Netaji Bhawan) to Esplanade, opened in 1984. It was initially planned in the 1920s, but construction started in the 1970s.
The Kolkata Metro is the first planned and operational rapid transit system in India. Trains operate between 06:55 and 22:30 IST and the fares range from ₹5 to ₹25. The system has a mix of underground, at-grade and elevated stations using both broad-gauge and standard-gauge tracks. Four other lines are in various phases of construction. As of July 2022, it has two operational lines, a 31.365 km (19.489 mi) line from Dakshineswar to Kavi Subhash and a 9.1 km (5.7 mi) line from Salt Lake Sector V to Sealdah, for a total of 40.465 km (25.144 mi). The Kolkata Metro ( Bengali: কলকাতা নগরীরেল) is a rapid transit system serving the city of Kolkata in West Bengal, India.
