The Planning Commission is considering moving forward with MRT Line-2 instead of MRT Line-5 Southern Route to serve the densely populated Old Dhaka.
The MRT-5 Southern Route would link Gabtoli to Dasherkandi, while the Line-2 would link Gabtoli to Narayanganj with a branch through Old Dhaka to Sadarghat.
The new route is expected to serve a much larger urban population and thus address critical transit needs in key areas of the city.
According to planning officials, in addition to constructing MRT-2, several other proposals are under consideration.
