5. Modernizing Transportation: The Dhaka Metro Rail Project Metro Rail Challenges for Metro Rail The adaptation of the Dhaka Metro Rail by the people of Bangladesh has exceeded expectations, with commuting on the metro becoming a habitual practice. Despite initial challenges in construction, including unfortunate incidents and the COVID-19 pandemic, the project is progressing steadily towards full implementation. The government's ambitious timeline for the metro's operation by 2030 is materializing, with plans to create thousands of job opportunities and ensure uninterrupted services through advanced infrastructure and revenue generation strategies, including ticket sales and commercial space rentals at stations.  Managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Source:

6. Modernizing Transportation: The Dhaka Metro Rail Project Metro Rail Future Plans of Dhaka MRT  Managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company With the maiden metro rail line coming into full operation tomorrow, Dhaka dwellers might have to wait for four to five more years to get the second metro rail in operation. Physical work on the second metro rail line, formally known as Mass Rapid Transit Line-1, the first underground metro rail line in the country, started early this year. The project's deadline is 2026, but it may take two more years beyond the deadline to complete due to a delayed start. The prime minister will formally inaugurate the construction work of the country's third metro rail, MRT Line-5 (northern route), today, and the project's deadline is 2028. After the completion of a feasibility study, other preparatory work for the fourth line, MRT Line-5 (southern route), is currently underway. However, the project has not been approved yet. However, the authority could not even start the feasibility study of two other lines, MRT Line-2 and MRT Line-4, and the preliminary alignment of both lines has been changed. So, it would take a long time to start physical work, even if the lines are found feasible. However, MAN Siddique, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd, the implementing and operating agency, said that they were hopeful   about implementing their plan within 2030. Source:

By alleviating traffic congestion, it aims to reduce reliance on private cars and shorten travel times, offering faster transportation with trains capable of speeds up to 100 km/h. Not only does it contribute to a cleaner environment by curbing emissions, but it also holds the potential to stimulate economic growth through job creation and overall economic activity. Moreover, by enhancing accessibility and connectivity, the metro system fosters improved social equity, making the city more inclusive and livable for all its inhabitants. Thank You
