"While inaugurating the second part of the metro rail, I said all stations up to Motijheel will be opened within the next three months. In that continuation, Dhaka University and Bijoy Sarani stations are being opened on December 13,” said Managing Director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) MAN Siddique at a press conference on Thursday.

Metro rail project
The cost of the country’s first-ever metro rail project stands at Tk33,472 crore. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provided Tk19,719 crore in the form of a loan to support the project, while the Government of Bangladesh funded the remaining amount.
In the beginning, the estimated cost of this project was about Tk21,000 crore. The cost has increased due to the construction of an additional 1.6 km section from Motijheel to Kamalapur, the acquisition of new land for each station, and the addition of various new facilities.
The main construction work of the project started in 2017.
