Necessary Testing's

• Soil & other supporting testing at 120 points already have done.

Service that will covered

• A train with six air-conditioned coaches will operate every four minutes travel from Uttara to Motijheel in just 38 minutes

• A total of 24 such trains would carry 60,000 passengers every hour to both directions.

• The metro rail will have stations at 16 points of the city.

Finally,we can say, any economic development of a country is not possible without developing its transport sector.

So Bangladesh Govt. has taken truly an impressive step.
