Project Details
In 2016, the Government of Bangladesh developed and adopted a Revised Strategic Transport Plan (RSTP) as a master plan for 2035. The core of the RSTP is a network of five Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) lines and two Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines, supported by secondary regular bus services. As a part of the RSTP, the proposed Dhaka Public Transport Improvement Project (DPTIP) will develop a high-quality urban transport corridor with key transport hubs in the capital city, well-connected with improved feeder bus services and access road. In particular:
BRT Line 3: The south section of the BRT Line 3, connecting at the Airport station with the north
section of the BRT corridor, which is being implemented by the Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport Project (GDSUTP), funded by ADB, AFD and Global Environment Facility (GEF). BRT Line 3 North will run 20 km through DNCC and Gazipur City Corporation (GCC) areas. Opening of the north section is planned for 2020/2021. The proposed project will continue the Line 3 corridor for 10 km from the Airport station to the Mohakhali terminal.
Terminal Development: The project scope includes redevelopment of the Mohakhali terminal, a large inter-city bus terminal developed by DUTP and construction of the Keraniganj Depot at the southern end of the full network.
Other Elements: The project will also finance the restructuring of existing operators along the corridor. It will also finance the improvement of access roads and traffic management system for the area covering the corridor.
