The Airport Shuttle Bus Service will operate from Terminal 2 to the Airport Railway Station, covering the airport roundabout, Uttara Jashimuddin Road, and Terminal 3

Two BRTC buses were seen standing at the Dhaka airport premises which will run as a special shuttle service to facilititate passenger-luggage transportation at the airport by the Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) from Wednesday, 26 June. 

A shuttle bus service by the Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) has been launched at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA), as part of its efforts to enhance service-oriented operations. 

The special service, which commenced today (26 June), will be operated with two BRTC buses and aims to provide baggage transportation facilities for incoming and outgoing passengers.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, BRTC Chairman Tajul Islam said, "The BRTC has already become a profitable company. The organisation is planning its operations to make it more service-oriented in future. As part of this, the special shuttle service was launched today." 

He highlighted the challenges faced by passengers, especially those carrying heavy luggage, at the airport.

"We have seen many expat workers face difficulty finding transportation with heavy luggages, especially upon arrival at the airport. The new shuttle service will allow carrying 40-50 kg luggage," he said, adding that the buses will remain stationed at the airport.

According to airport authorities, the service is expected to improve passenger movement and safety.
