Dhaka University yesterday introduced electric shuttle cars as a means for students to get around the campus more conveniently. Under an initiative supported by the Green Future Foundation, four “Campus Shuttles” will operate daily from 8:00am to 8:00pm. Fares will be between Tk 10 and Tk 20, depending on the route. Each vehicle can accommodate around a dozen people. The photo was taken yesterday at TSC. Photo: Firoz Ahmed
