3. WHAT METRO RAIL?
Metro Rail is a Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS). It is a convenient,
fast, efficient, reliable, modern, user friendly, comfortable and affordable
mode of urban transport. It is safe and eco-friendly. It is electric and
requires only 1/5th energy per passenger km compared to road based
transport systems.

4. HISTORY OF METRO RAIL
The opening in 1863 of London's steam-
hauled Metropolitan Railway marked the beginning of
rapid transit. . In 1890 the City & South London Railway
was the first electric-traction rapid transit railway, which
was also fully underground. The 1893 Liverpool overhead
Railway was designed to use electric traction from the
outset. The technology quickly spread to other cities in
Europe, Canada and the United States with some railways
being converted from steam and others being designed to
be electric from the outset. Budapest in Hungary
and Glasgow, Chicago and New all converted or purpose-
designed and built electric rail services. Cities such
as Oslo and Marseille opened extensive systems in the
1960s and many new systems were introduced
in Southeast Asia and Latin.

5. WHY DHAKA NEED A METRO RAIL?
• Unprecedented growth of personal vehicles.
• Growing Traffic Congestion.
• To avoid Congestion at Peak hours.
• Time saving.
• Reduced Fuel consumption.
• To solve the extreme amount of traffic jams.
• Transport huge amount of passengers at a time.
• Lack of good railway system.
• Lack of Required amount of public transport.
• better and modern commuting system.

10. FINANCING
The metro rail project will be constructed under the supervision of Dhaka
Mass Transit Company and is being funded jointly by Bangladesh
government and Japan International Cooperative Agency (Jica). Jica is
contributing Tk16,594.59 core to the project, while the government is
paying Tk5,390.48 core .
The total cost of the project is estimated to be around Tk2,040 core,
Tk1,650 core of which will jointly provided by the Asian Development
Bank, French Development Agency, and Global Environmental Facility
Fund. The rest will be provided by the government.

11. SERVICE OF
DHAKA METRO
RAIL
Preparations for the Metrorail project were
underway and work would now begin, he said. The
construction of the depots had already started.
Metrorail’s Route-6, from Uttara to Motijheel’s
Shapla Chattar, will be elevated all the way.
The route would have six stations, while trains
would carry 60,000 passengers both ways every
hour.
In the first phase, the trains will go up to Agargaon in
2019, while the extension to Motijheel will be
completed by 2020.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
is providing Tk 165.95 billion of the Tk.220 billion
project covering a distance of 20km.

12.  Route-1 will run from Gazipur to Keraniganj’s Jhilmil
project.
 The first phase of the construction will extend from
the airport to Kamalapur, and from Khilkhet to
Purbachal.
 Ten kilometers of this 27-km track will be
underground.
 The plan for Route-5 has been finalized to connect
the metropolis from east to west. The 35-km track
will lie between Bhulta in Narayanganj to Gabtoli.
 The primary phase, comprising 17-km from Bhatara
to Gabtoli-Hemayetpur, will include six kilometers of
underground tracks.

15. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUE
• It is estimated that the Project CO2 emission reduction is 170,000 t.p.a
(2021) to 499,000 t.p.a. (2051).
• Social impacts on local transport providers due to the competitive nature
of the Metro is unlikely.
• Traffic congestion will be offset through designation of alternative
routes. Some compensation may be paid in specific instances related to
disturbance that affects livelihood, or temporary relocation out of the
line of work.
• Social impacts are minimized by relocating street-side vendors to
predefined locations so their occupations can be continued.

16. DISADVANTAGE
 Fixed route.
 Depending on government attitudes.
 Will be a crowed place.
 Available for specific location.
 Less security.
 Many people lost their land.
 Huge investment.
 Air pollution and sound pollution(in construction period).

17. CONCLUSION
Finally we can say that, any development of a country is not possible
without developing in its transport sector.
Although its need a huge amount of money, Bangladesh govt. has taken
truly an impressive steps
