A characteristic feature of Kolkata is with the para or neighbourhoods having a strong sense of community.Typically, every para has its own community club with a clubroom and often, a playing field. People here habitually indulge in adda, or leisurely chat, and these adda sessions are often a form of freestyle intellectual conversation.The city has a tradition of political graffiti depicting everything from outrageous slander to witty banter and limericks, caricatures to propaganda.

Public transport is provided by the Kolkata suburban railway, the Kolkata Metro, trams and buses. The suburban network is extensive and extends into the distant suburbs. The Kolkata Metro, run by the Indian Railways, is the oldest underground rapid transit system in India since 1984.[115] It spans the north-south length of the city covering a distance of 25.1 km (16 mi).[116] Five more lines of the Metro rail, which are under construction, will help in creating a network of rapid transit system in the city.[117] Kolkata has three major long distance railway stations at Howrah, Sealdah and Kolkata (Chitpur), which connects Kolkata by rail to most cities in West Bengal, as well as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and other major cities in India.[118] The city is the headquarters of two divisions of the Indian Railways — Eastern Railway and South Eastern Railway.
Flexible production had always been the norm in Kolkata, and the informal sector has comprised more than 40% of the labour force.[79] For example, roadside hawkers generated business worth Rs. 8,772 crore (around 2 billion U.S. dollars) in 2005.[80] 0.81 % of the working population works in primary sector, 15.49% works in secondary sector, 83.69 works in the tertiary sector. As in many other Indian cities, information technology became a major growing sector in Kolkata since late 1990s, with the IT sector growing at 70% yearly — twice that of the national average.[43] The 2000s also saw a surge of investments in the realty and infrastructure sector, coupled with retail and hospitality sector growth, with establishments of several shopping malls and hotels.
