Off Days

On a train’s off day it does not run, so it will not appear in the e-ticket search for that date. Bangladesh Railway can adjust off days, so confirm the day when you search for your date.

Ticket Price by Seat Class

These are the Brahmanbaria to Dhaka fares in Bangladeshi taka, including 15% VAT. The fare is the same in both directions.
