Off Day
Bijoy Express does not run on Tuesday, in either direction. On that day it will not appear in the e-ticket search. Bangladesh Railway can adjust off days, so confirm the day when you search for your date.
Ticket Price and Seat Classes
Fares on Bangladesh Railway depend on seat class and on the distance between your boarding and destination stations. A Chattogram to Mymensingh ticket costs more than one from Chattogram to Cumilla or from Bhairab Bazar to Mymensingh. Bijoy Express runs with upgraded coaches that include air-conditioned cars, so you can choose an AC seat or an AC berth, as well as non-AC chair seats. The AC Berth is the best option for the overnight return trip. Online tickets carry a small service charge, and VAT is included in the price you see.
Bangladesh Railway revises fares from time to time, so check the exact price for your class and date on the e-ticket site. The fare shows before you pay, so you can compare classes with no commitment.
Other Trains on the Route
Mymensingh Express (37 and 38) is a long mail train that runs daily between Chattogram and the Mymensingh and Jamalpur region. It leaves Chattogram in the afternoon, at about 4:15 PM, and takes around 17 hours, so it is much slower than Bijoy Express. It stops at more stations and costs less. Check the e-ticket site for its stop time at Mymensingh. You can also travel via Dhaka, taking a Dhaka-bound train from Chattogram and a Mymensingh-bound train from Dhaka, but the connection times need checking on the portal.
