Dhaka’s first metro rail line stretching from Uttara to Agargaon, officially known as MRT Line-6, is set to begin operations in December. Train services will be available every day from dawn till midnight. Construction work on nine stations across the city is nearing completion.

Passengers can either use stairs or escalators to reach the concourse on the first floor of the station in Uttara North.

The Uttara North metro rail station is equipped with elevator facilities for the elderly and travellers with special needs.

A state-of-the-art passenger management system will be in place to prevent travellers from accessing metro rail platforms without tickets.

Passengers will not be allowed to leave the station if they do not have tickets covering the exact distance they intend to travel. In case they plan to travel further than their ticket allows, passengers must pay an additional charge.
