Introduce weekend special train
Every year during the Eid, a few special trains as well as a few extra compartments are added to the existing train services for almost all the routes from Dhaka to other districts. Obviously, it eases the home-goers' journey to some extent, even though getting ticket is never easy.
However, there are a large number of people, whose families do not reside in Dhaka, who travel almost every weekend by train to meet their families. For these people, Bangladesh Railway should introduce return tickets or even a monthly ticket system. This ticket could be used for Thursday, when the weekend starts and many would leave Dhaka, and Sunday, when the weekend ends and all return to Dhaka. In order to meet the demand of tickets, the railway should bring special trains targeting weekends, as it does during Eid holidays.
