The metro rail authorities have revised the weekday train service schedule for the upcoming month of Ramadan.

However, the train service schedule for Fridays and Saturdays will remain unchanged.

Additionally, passengers will be allowed to carry a 250ml water bottle before and after iftar, Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd (DMTCL) announced in a circular today.
