Benefits of Using the MRT/Rapid Pass

Regular commuters are encouraged to use the MRT Pass or Rapid Pass for a more streamlined travel experience. These smart cards not only save time with quicker boarding but also offer a 10% fare discount compared to single-use tickets. Pass holders also enjoy slightly extended operating hours, with services beginning earlier and ending later than the general schedule.

Why Timing Matters

With intervals as short as 6 minutes, the Dhaka Metro Rail minimizes waiting time and maximizes efficiency. During peak hours, the frequent arrivals ensure that even the busiest stations like Farmgate, Motijheel, and Mirpur 10 stay manageable. However, planning your ride during off-peak times can lead to a more relaxed and less crowded experience.

Whether you're a student heading to Dhaka University, a professional working in Motijheel, or a resident in Uttara, the schedule has been designed to cater to a wide range of daily routines.
