Kolkata: Metro Railway continues to guide passengers through the old and new Esplanade stations. The latest such effort is painting blue arrow signs on the ceilings to help commuters walk into the North-South Metro also called the Blue line, from the new Esplanade station or the East-West Metro which is also called the green line. One can follow these arrows along the inter-connecting passage of the two metro corridors as well as the concourse area of the blue line.Commuters will be able to seamlessly go to the new Esplanade Metro station through the inter-connecting passage by looking up at the ceiling.
The carrier has already installed special indicative footprints in blue and green colours at the old Esplanade Metro station as well as the new Esplanade Metro station’s concourse area. Green footprints have been installed on the platforms of the old Esplanade Metro station. Passengers getting down at the new Esplanade Metro station will be able to switch easily to the old Esplanade Metro station by following the blue footprints on the floor as well as the ceiling arrow signs at the concourse area of the station. These indicative footprints and arrow signs are easily visible and strategically placed in such a way that commuters, willing to hop corridors, will be able to do so easily.
Apart from these indicative footprints and arrows, banners, posters and stickers are already on display at these two stations at Esplanade to guide the commuters to switch Metro corridors, a Metro spokesperson said.
