The building of a 130km metro rail network in Dhaka and its adjacent areas is not likely to meet the 2030 deadline due to delays in preparations.

The limited launch of the metro tomorrow is unlikely to make any real dent in Dhaka's traffic problem

Dhaka needs an integrated traffic management plan, based on advanced technology and a scientific approach.

The Mass Rapid Transit Line-2 project, another metro rail line to be laid out from Gabtoli to Chittagong Road on Dhaka-Chattogram Highway, faces a setback with the authorities now seeking to change the way it would be financed and implemented.
