Barpa bus stand at Rupgonj upazila in Narayanganj is located near a well known industrial area. There are some export quality industrial units around the bus stand along with many small industries. More than 30 thousand people are working in these industries. Many of them come from Dhaka. Besides this, a host of working people, businessmen and university going students from this area have to go to Dhaka every day. They have to commute by bus. Though "Magla" bus service counter has already been set up here, most people do not get chance to reach Dhaka by "Magla" as the number of buses is not adequate. So they have to go by local bus and they never reach their place on time.

So we would request the BRTC authorities to set up a counter at the Barpa bus stand.
