Metro service started from Dum Dum to Belgachia in parallel with the extension of the line to the south but the service was stopped due to lack of passengers. The stretch was very unpopular. Metro service from Dum Dum metro station restarted in 1994 connecting Shyambazar metro station. The service from Dum Dum metro station to Tollygunge station started in 1995. Dum Dum metro station was the terminal station in the northern end of the city before the Blue line was extended to Dakshineshwar metro station.

The Kolkata Tram System, is a tram system that serves Kolkata, the capital city of the Indian state of West Bengal, operated by West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) after Calcutta Tramways Company (CTC) was merged with WBTC. Being started in 1873 Kolkata tram is the second oldest operating tram network in the world after Turin (1871). Being electrified in 1902, Calcutta became the first Asian City with electric tramway. The Kolkata Tram is the only tram system operating now in India. With the help of periodic negligence, the Government of West Bengal had formed systematic initiatives to suspend the entire tram network from the city and sell properties. However, an apolitical organization named Calcutta Tram Users Association (CTUA) was formed in 2016 to advocate in favor of Kolkata's tram system. The network initially had up to 37 lines in the 1960s, but has gradually reduced over the years with only two lines currently operating due to financial struggles, poor maintenance, low ridership, addition of road flyovers, expansion of the Kolkata Metro, slow tram speed and perceptions that the trams are outdated and occupy too much road space. There are currently two tram routes running which are route 5 and route 25.
