Only if you're heading for Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Int. Airport or South Kolkata, get an app based cab from here. You will be saving a lot of time. Else prefer availing buses if luggage is not a parameter. They are faster, cheaper and safe.

If you are booking app based cab here then be careful. Most of them will make weird excuses and cancel the trip. Upon conversing with some people, they say that it is because of the weird placement of SRC but it will improve once the station complex is in full flow. However, you can get buses from here to locations like Bally, Dakshineswar, Dunlop, Shyambazar, Second Hoogly Bridge, Rabindra Sadan etc. Better to rely on bus than to rely on app based cabs. Otherwise, there is always a prepaid taxi booth available near platform 6.
