Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) has announced a revised weekday schedule for the metro rail service in observance of the month of Ramadan.

However, the train service timetable for Fridays and Saturdays will remain unchanged.

Under the revised schedule, metro trains will run from Uttara to Motijheel at 10-minute intervals between 7:10am and 7:30am. They will then operate at eight-minute intervals from 7:31am to 6:50pm, before returning to 10-minute intervals from 6:51pm to 9:00pm. 

For trains running in the opposite direction, from Motijheel to Uttara, services will operate at 10-minute intervals from 7:30am to 8:00am, at eight-minute intervals from 8:01am to 7:30pm, and at 10-minute intervals again from 7:31pm to 9:40pm.

In addition to the schedule change, passengers will be allowed to carry a 250ml water bottle before and after iftar. 

However, they are advised to avoid spilling water and are prohibited from discarding water bottles anywhere in the metro facilities except in designated bins. 

No food will be permitted on trains, platforms, or concourses.
