The Bangladesh Railway has announced that four pairs of special trains will operate on the Dhaka-Cox’s Bazar and Dhaka-Chattogram routes to manage the surge in passengers during the Durga Puja festival. The special services will run from September 30 to October 4, 2025.
Among these, three pairs of “Puja Special” trains will run on the Dhaka-Cox’s Bazar route, and one pair will operate on the Dhaka-Chattogram route. Each special train will have 18 coaches, offering 834 seats for daytime trains and 789 seats for nighttime services.
Ticket prices will align with those of regular services such as Subarna Express, Sonar Bangla Express, and Cox’s Bazar Express. However, passengers will need to pay an additional 30% for AC seats and 20% for non-AC seats during this period.
The railway authority urged passengers to book tickets in advance to ensure smooth travel during the festive rush.
