Dhaka has a large and growing population that is straining its transportation infrastructure, resulting in traffic gridlock that costs the economy billions each year. A metro rail system is proposed as the future of public transportation in Dhaka, as it would have the capacity to carry large numbers of passengers faster and more efficiently than buses or cars, while also being more environmentally friendly. The metro rail would save the city significant costs each day and boost economic growth.

1. A Solution To Dhaka’s Traffic Gridlock

3. • Dhaka has a population of 18+ million and is projected to touch 35 million by
2035.
• There are 4.5 million registered vehicle in the country with only 30% of public
vehicle.
• According to a report of world bank Dhaka is losing 3.2 million working hour
every day costing 30,000 crore taka .
• An efficient , safe , reliable and comfortable public transport is a prerequisite of
good living.

4. It is metro rail , the
future of Dhaka’s public
transport.

5.  High capacity carrier – very high volume of peak hour peak direction trips.
 Faster – reduces journey time by 50% to 75%.
 Eco friendly – low air ,sound and vibration pollution.
 Very low ground space – As the rail is elevated , only 2 meter ground is needed.
 Very low energy consumption – only 20% per passenger that of road transport.
 Greater traffic capacity – carries as much traffic as 7 lanes of bus or 24 lanes of
car traffic.

6.  This metro rail will save almost 200 crore taka per day and thus will make a
direct influence in the GDP.
 Passengers will be using “Rapid Pass” for a hassle free ride.
 It will ply 13 meter above the median of the road and to reduce vibration and
noise floating track and noise barrier wall will be used.
 It will have a separate power grid to ensure uninterrupted electricity.
