Friday operates on a unique schedule that reflects Bangladesh's cultural and religious practices. Unlike weekdays that follow regular office hours, Friday services are specifically designed to accommodate Jummah prayers and the traditional Friday afternoon start for many businesses and institutions.
The metro begins operations at 3:00 PM, allowing the morning hours for prayer preparations and family time. This timing aligns with when most people need transportation for afternoon activities, shopping, and social visits that are common on Fridays in Dhaka.
The consistent 10-minute frequency throughout the entire operational period ensures reliable service without the complexity of peak and off-peak variations. This simplified schedule makes it easier for passengers to plan their Friday journeys, whether for religious activities, shopping at markets, or visiting family and friends.
Saturday-Thursday schedule is different (7:10 AM - 9:40 PM). Plan your travel accordingly when transitioning between Friday and other days.
