The Dhaka Metro Rail is a mass rapid transit system serving Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. It is owned and operated by the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited.[1] Together with a proposed subway system it is expected to reduce traffic congestion in the city. It is part of the Strategic Transport Plan outlined by the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority.[2]
The network is planned to contain six lines, with the first section of MRT Line 6 commencing commercial operations on 29 December 2022, and the other lines being either in planning or under construction.[3][4] The construction of MRT Line 6's second section is scheduled to be completed during 2023.[5] The third phase, which will have an interchange with Line 1, Line 2 and Line 4, is set to be completed by 2026.[6][7][8] Further expansion of MRT Line 6 is planned, with the hope of extending it towards Tongi in Gazipur metropolitan and Savar Upazila. The fares range from minimum ৳20 to maximum ৳100 (for MRT line 6). Passengers can get 10% discount for paying fares on either MRT pass or Rapid Pass. Each of the cards has same facilities.[9]
