It costs Tk 400 (Tk 200 per head) to rent a motorbike to cross the Padma Bridge. Many motorbikes, however, were seen carrying more than two people on the Padma Bridge.

There was a pressure of motorbikes since vehicles started plying the Padma Bridge at 5:50am today (June 26, 2022). The toll authorities have been struggling with the pressure of too many motorbikes on the first day.

Kamal Hossain, a shopkeeper, said, "I rented a bike from Naodoba. No one wants to take passengers under Tk 200 per head. I agreed to cross the Padma Bridge and reach Mawa with my wife and child. We stopped on the bridge and took pictures. The bridge looks very beautiful. I will come back in the afternoon after staying at a relative's house in Mawa."
