2019 time limit is bit over ambitious but I wish all the best to the Project. There is no alternative of metro rail in overly populated cities like Dhaka or Kolkata.

the way Hasina is furthering Indian hegemonic interests and allowing illegitimate Indian influence in BD, we might even see a platinum age under Hasina

dhaka is a populous city... so they got the numbers..
mumbai local can carry between 2600 to 3500, so if you run every 2 to 3 min you can get 60k.

whats wrong with 20km? too short or too long..

Too short + hard to run trains in just a single 20 KM route after every 2-3 minutes don't you think?

why?delhi metro red line is 25 kms so its not that short.
also u will need less number of trains if you want a service every 2 or 3 mins.
for example if average speed is 40 kmph you will need 30 trains to have service every 2 mins but if your length is doubled (with same average speed) you will need twice the number of trains.

Yeah i got it
Thanks!! Actually i was confused about 60,000 passengers per hour (I don't know why but it seems like a huge number in this way), If they say 1-1.5 million daily it would be easy for me to understand
