Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) is planning to introduce 10 additional metro rail trips daily, potentially serving 23,000 more passengers.
Under the new schedule, operations will begin at 6:00 a.m. and extend past 10:00 p.m. Currently, around 350,000–400,000 people ride the metro daily, but capacity remains limited as extra coaches have yet to be deployed.
The first new passenger trip will run early morning from a “sweeping train,” reserved for MRT and Rapid Pass holders. Six new trips will be added at night, with trains departing Uttara at 9:10, 9:20, and 9:30 p.m., and from Motijheel at 9:50, 10:00, and 10:10 p.m.
