Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)

Is the metro rail really opening tomorrow?

The limited launch of the metro tomorrow is unlikely to make any real dent in Dhaka's traffic problem

They finally woke up

Four days after the tragedy that killed five of a family in Uttara, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) authority finally started setting up safety barriers along around 10 kilometres of the project area, from Uttara to Gazipur.

Festivity turns tragic as newly-weds end up in hospital following fatal crash

They were all in a festive mood as the son of the family got married just two days ago.

5 dead as segment of viaduct falls on car from crane

At least four people in a car were crushed to death after a segment of a viaduct of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project fell on the vehicle in Dhaka's Uttara area this afternoon (August 15, 2022).

BRT route may now be halved

The rapid bus service, much touted as a way to ease the capital's chronic traffic congestion, may be implemented only in part, and that too not before 2024, as arbitrarily built flyovers block its proposed route, said officials and transport experts.
