50% Bus Fare Discount for Students Available 7 Days a Week

The Dhaka Road Transport Owners Association has announced that students in all metropolitan areas, including Dhaka, will now benefit from a 50% discount on bus fares seven days a week.

Saiful Alam, the General Secretary of the association, made the announcement during a seminar at the Engineering Institution auditorium in Dhaka on Monday (September 23). The seminar, titled 'Our Pledge for Safe Roads for All,' aimed to raise awareness among transport owners and workers about the importance of maintaining order on the roads.

"After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, the country experienced a second wave of independence. This discount has been a long-standing demand of students. Therefore, we are implementing the 50% fare reduction for them, effective every day of the week," Saiful Alam said.

He further mentioned that the initiative will take effect from September 24. The half-fare discount will be available from 6 AM to midnight for students in uniform or those carrying a valid student ID.
