The government has decided to relocate Fulbaria Bus Terminal to Keraniganj as part of a broader plan to ease severe traffic congestion in Dhaka, modernise traffic management and restore order in public transport. The decisions were made at a Saturday meeting at the prime minister’s Tejgaon office, chaired by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. The plan also includes electronic toll collection at expressway and flyover toll plazas, expansion of Gabtali Bus Terminal and moving Karwan Bazar’s kitchen market to Gabtali.
Because construction of the permanent Keraniganj terminal is a long-term project, an interim bus terminal will be built within four months on 15 acres at the Jhilmil project site. The meeting said moving Fulbaria would reduce pressure from buses and inter-district vehicles in central Dhaka. Necessary land will be acquired through the Local Government Ministry for the permanent project.
Authorities were directed to develop an electronic toll collection app and complete the system within four months. BUET was asked to submit, within 15 days, a new report with recommendations on easing congestion around the Jatrabari-Gulistan flyover. The meeting also called for parking options near the Secretariat, a separate policy for autorickshaws and action against unauthorised double-decker sleeper buses.
