Students will now enjoy a 50% discount on bus fares throughout the entire week in Dhaka and other metropolitan areas, announced Md Saiful Alam, General Secretary of the Dhaka Road Transport Owners’ Association.
During a seminar at the Engineers Institution auditorium in Dhaka on September 23, Alam said the long-standing demand from students for a half-fare policy has been met and will take effect from September 24. The discount will apply from 6 AM to 12 AM, with students required to either wear their uniforms or present their student ID.
This policy is limited to metropolitan areas across the country.
