The government has inaugurated special buses equipped with third generation wireless internet connectivity for commuters in the capital.
Communications Minister Obaidul Quader and State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak inaugurated the service at the capital’s Farmgate area at 4pm on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the government also introduced a vehicle tracking facility for the passengers.
“The vehicle tracking facility will enable the passengers to track the bus they are planning to ride and know the time of its arrival,” Naimuzzaman Mukta, people’s perspective specialist of a2i programme, told the Dhaka Tribune.
He said BRTC authorities will also be able to monitor their buses.
The passengers will have to visit urbanlaunchtad.org.brtc to get this facility.
Naimuzzaman Mukta said the government is planning to introduce the facility in train compartments.
Besides, the facilities will be made available in other public buses immediately.
