Background: |
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is the economic and political center of the country with output equivalent to 36% of the country’s entire GDP. Its population density is over 45 thousand per square Kilometer. Urban Transport in the Dhaka City is heavily lenient on road traffic and the fixed modes of travel. Unavailability of appropriate Mass Transit System provokes the city dwellers to use more and more private vehicles. This situation brings about serious traffic congestion in the city. All the issues require the improvement of the urban public transport by introducing Mass Rapid Transit, popularly known as Metro Rail.
