60 BRTC buses for RMG workers’ Eid journey

Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) has made special arrangement of 60 buses for the easy transportation of the home-bound readymade garment workers ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr.

BRTC’s deputy general manager (operation) Moniruzzaman Babu told BSS on Saturday afternoon.

“A total of 30 buses will be ready on 3 June at Gazipur Chowrasta to transport the home-bound garment workers to different destinations so that they can celebrate the Eid at their village homes,” he said.

Besides, different garment workers in the capital and its adjoining areas have already booked around 29 buses to go to different destinations, he added.

Since there are many garment industries in Dhaka, Savar, Gazipur, Narayanganj and Narsingdi, BRTC has taken this decision considering the journey of those garment-workers, BRTC sources said.

Earlier, BRTC started 15-day ‘Eid Special Service’ from 27 May to ensure safe journey for the homebound people. A total of 1,089 buses have been working under this service.
