The fare of upcoming metro rail has been fixed at Tk 5 per kilometer,

The minimum fare is set Tk 20.  The passengers have to pay Tk 100, if he wants to travel from Uttara to Kamlapur.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader revealed these information while inaugurating an information and exhibition centre at the Uttara depot on Tuesday.

However, those who will use weekly, monthly and family cards will enjoy special discounts while the wounded Freedom Fighters can travel free of cost, he said.

The government has set a December deadline to inaugurate the metro train service from Uttara to Agargaon. The remaining stretch of the metro, from Agargaon to Motijheel, will be unveiled next year.
