Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), the operator of Dhaka Metro Rail, is making initial preparations to resume the metro rail service on Fridays as well.
DMTCL’s Managing Director M. A. N. Siddique said, “We are taking preliminary steps to begin opera-tions on Fridays. Since changes to the software are required, we are starting this initial preparation yes-terday.”
When asked about a possible start date for the Friday service, Siddique emphasized that these prepara-tions are still at an early stage.
“After completing this phase, we will discuss with our advisors to finalize the date for launching the ser-vice on Fridays. As the study is ongoing, we hope to announce the date very soon,” he added.
Currently, Dhaka Metro Rail operates six days a week, excluding Fridays, which is a weekly holiday. However, due to growing passenger demand, efforts are underway to initiate operations on Fridays as well.
