2 new bus routes' operation in coordination with MRT: Taposh

Dhaka Nagar Paribahan bus on two new routes -- 24 and 25 -- will be launched coordinating with Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development (Line-6), said Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Fazle Noor Taposh today.

"Metro rail has already been launched, therefore, we have taken the decision that we will operate bus services on the two new routes in coordination with the MRT service. We discussed and reviewed the details of the two new routes in today's meeting", said the mayor.

The DSCC mayor, also president of the Bus Route Rationalisation Committee, made the comments while exchanging views with media personnel after the 26th meeting of the committee at Nagar Bhaban.

Replying to a question from a journalist, he said, "We are seeing some irregularities. We have especially noticed the trend of travelling on buses without a ticket. But it won't be allowed in Dhaka Nagar Paribahan.

"Everyone must buy a ticket. We have given strict instructions in this regard in today's meeting."
