The Dhaka’s metro rail authorities have installed a mock-up coach at its exhibition and information centre in Dhaka.

Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited’s managing director Mohamamd Abdur Nur Siddique told Prothom Alo that a dummy coach was installed in Uttara's Diabari exhibition centre to inform people about the use of metro rail services.

The DMTCL authorities said Japan started making coaches of metro rail on 16 February 2019. The mock-up coach was brought to Dhaka on 26 December 2019. It will be opened for people in March 2020.

The first set of the original coaches will possibly reach Dhaka on 15 June. Once it reaches, the trial run will be kicked off.
