Metro-Railway in Bangladesh ✪✪✪
Metro Railways is an important mode of transportation in many countries worldwide. In Bangladesh, the metro-railway system is still in its infancy, but it can transform how people travel within the country. The first metro-railway project in Bangladesh was initiated in 2012, and since then, several projects have been undertaken to build metro-railway systems in different parts of the country.
Project Details: The first metro-railway project in Bangladesh is the MRT Line-6, also known as the Uttara-Motijheel Metro Rail Project. The project is being implemented by the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) and is funded by the Bangladesh government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) . The MRT Line-6 will run from Uttara, north of Dhaka, to Motijheel, in the city’s heart. The project will be completed in 2023. It will cover a distance of 20.1 kilometres. Now, the MRT Line-6 can transport around 60,000 passengers per hour.

Project Sign and Management: The deal (চুক্তি) for construction of the 20.1 kilometers, line 6, costing 2.8 billion USD, was signed by the government of Bangladesh with Japan International Cooperation Agency on 20 February 2013. The first route, originally projected to start from Uttara, a northern suburb of Dhaka, to Saidabad in the south of the capital, was eventually extended north to Uttara and truncated south to Motijheel.
Other Metro-Railway Projects: Apart from the MRT Line-6, several other metro-railway projects are planned or implemented in Bangladesh. These include the MRT Line-1, the MRT Line-5, and the MRT Line-4. The MRT Line-1 will connect Dhaka with Narayanganj, and the MRT Line-5 will connect Dhaka with Tongi. The MRT Line-4 will run from Mirpur to Hemayetpur. These projects are being implemented by the Bangladesh government and are expected to be completed within the next few years.
