How to buy Metro Rail tickets

Passengers have to buy tickets from the second floor of the three-storied stations which are set up at short distances along the rail track.

From the third floor, they will board the train that will initially operate on an 11km rail track from Uttara to Agargaon.

After reaching the destination, passengers have to leave the platform using the ticket once again.

Metro rail fares have already been fixed at Tk5 per kilometer with a minimum fare of Tk20. One can travel by the Metro train using a Single Journey Ticket and MRT Pass.

Single Journey Tickets can be bought automatically from the Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Those who cannot use it can get their tickets from the Ticket Office Machine (TOM) with the help of a seller.

A maximum of five tickets can be bought at once from the two ticketing counters.

MRT Pass holders can enter the platform by scanning their pass at designated scanners at the entrance to the pass-paid zone.

After reaching the destination station and scanning the card again, the fixed fare will be deducted before they exit the station.

In case of a Single Journey Ticket, an MRT pass will be provided. Passengers can exit the station after entering the platform and punching this card.
