Surely you could walk away from the airport, find a bus stop, determine which bus was going in the direction of the Metro station, ride the bus, get down at the right place, go into the Metro station, buy a ticket, ride to the Park Street station, alight, climb the steps, etc etc. Either that, or you walk.

Just an information

Minibus - Route No-151 Airport - B.B.D Bag .Get down at B.B.D Bag & walk down to Sudder Street apprx 2Km or take any bus (there are lots of ) which goes to Esplanade/Metro or Park Street.

Route No-154 Airport - Babughat .Get down either at B.B.D Bag or at Babughat & take a bus which goes through Park Street/ Esplanade.

Private Bus- 30 (Esplanade/Babughat - Madhyamgram )
30B (Esplanade/Babughat - Airport )
46 (Esplanade/Babughat - Airport)
State Bus- L30B(Esplanade-Airport)
In all the above cases you have to get down at Esplanade & have to walk down to Sudder Street.apprx 1/2 km from Esplanade/Metro .Or can take Rickshaw (hand/man driven).Please note that during the rush/office hour the conductors of the bus usually refuse to take luggage.Otherwise it is ok.
