The Ministry of Railways has decided to allow trains to carry passengers to their full capacity from Wednesday.
“A decision allowing the sale of 100 per cent train tickets maintaining health guidelines has been taken,” Sharif Alam, public relations officer of the ministry told UNB on Tuesday.
Half of the tickets will be sold at the stations and the rest will be available online, he said.
The government initially shut passenger trains to contain the spread of coronavirus. It eventually allowed trains to run on condition that they follow health guidelines and carry 50 per cent passengers.
