Kolkata to Howrah by metro: -
Still now, no direct metro is available in this route, though it is under processing but the metro service in Kolkata is awesome.
'Belgachia' the nearby metro station of Kolkata (KOAA) and take a ticket up to 'Mahatma Gandhi Road' metro station. Take a bus from 'Central Avenue' for Howrah.
My preference: -
Take a metro is not a good option in between the two are described above because you have to walk nearly 500 meters from Kolkata station to reach Belgachia metro station and it will be hectic. Again you have to walk from Mahatma Gandhi Road metro station to reach Central Avenue.
But If you take a local train from Kolkata station then it will be less hectic.
In both cases, the same time will take to reach Howrah. So choose according to your criteria.
