Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) has released a detailed list of items passengers can and cannot carry on the city’s metro rail, aiming to ensure safety, cleanliness, and comfort. Bags must not exceed 22 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 9 inches in height, with a maximum weight of 15 kilograms. Backpacks must be carried by hand, not on the back, and sacks made of plastic, jute, or fabric are banned.
The prohibited list includes live animals, raw fish or meat, juicy fruits, open food, sharp tools, large machines, flammable substances, explosives, and certain electronics or musical instruments. Sealed water bottles, laptops, packaged snacks, and small shopping bags are allowed if they meet size limits.
Officials said the rules are designed to prevent odors, spills, and accidents inside trains. DMTCL may revise the list as needed to maintain passenger safety and system integrity. Passengers are urged to check their bags before entering stations to avoid delays or penalties.
