Metro rail in Bangladesh: PM lauds 4 development milestones

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today highlighted the four milestones in the country’s development that the inauguration of metro rail has brought about.

Metro moment is finally here

Bangladesh enters a new era in communication today with the launch of its first metro rail, promising fast, reliable, and safe commute in a traffic-choked Dhaka.

What is the fare for a metro rail trip?

The Uttara-Agargaon section of the country’s first metro rail will be inaugurated tomorrow.

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

Be careful with ‘over-optimism’ for megaprojects

One important but oft-ignored thing is that design and implementation mistakes delay the revenue-generation phase of megaprojects.

Death by development?

How is it that a government megaproject does not have enough safety measures in place so as not to cause the death of a passer-by?

How do the metro rail stations look?

The trial run for the first metro rail of the country is ongoing. Spanning about 20 kilometres, the metro rail will have 16 stations. Among them, Uttara North station is almost completed. What amenities will these stations have for passengers? How do the stations look from the inside?
