Considering Covid-19 situation, half of the seats are left vacant and each ticket is being given at Tk 15-45.

Although the Turag Express left for Dhaka a little late on the first day, passengers are happy with the service to avoid traffic jams.

The President of Gazipur Passenger Community Shamsul Haque expressed his gratitude for the launching of the special train.

However, he demanded an increase the number of seats, tickets and bogies in these trains.
