The Friday operation of metro rail has begun its seven-day-a-week operations in the city.
Every Friday MRT will operate from Uttara North to Motijheel from 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM and from Motijheel to Uttara North from 3:50pm to 9:40pm.
“For the first time commuters of the capital enjoyed their holiday riding on the metro rail as authorities successfully launched its operation from Uttara to Motijheel on Friday (September 20),” said Managing Director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) Abdur Rouf.
He said, from now on, every Friday MRT will operate from Uttara North to Motijheel from 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM and from Motijheel to Uttara North from 3:50 PM to 9:40 PM.
In another development, the metro rail service has been resumed from Kazipara station as the DMTCL completed its repair works of the station, which was partially damaged during the antidiscrimination movement in July.
Kazipara station has been prepared quickly for operation, taking the demands of the commuters into consideration, despite some equipment still to be fixed up for complete restoration of the operation.
