Gulshan Chaka | New Bus Service in Banani Baridhara Area


Recently another bus company has started mass transit A/C bus service in Banani - Gulshan area. The bus service is named as ‘Gulshan Chaka’. The AC circular bus already started their service from July 23 and most of the passenger riding on these buses is happy with the service.

Earlier another public transport service ‘Dhaka Chaka’ was started in Gulshan, Baridhara and Banani area under the initiative of the late Mayor Anisul Haque which has been launched by the Nitol Niloy group.

On the pick hour during morning and before evening, it became tough for the Dhaka Chaka bus service to handle the pressure of the passengers.


Now after starting of the new Gulshan Chaka bus service, hope the problems will be solved. The route of Gulshan Chaka is from Kakali to Badda Link Road and Natun Bazar which is little bit different from the Dhaka Chaka bus service. Ticket counters / stations are:
  • Kakoli
  • Kamal Ataturk Avenue - Banani
  • Gulshan-2
  • Gulshan-1
  • Badda Link Road
  • Natun Bazar




The Gulshan Chaka bus service is an initiative and is maintaining by the popular private bus company Himachal. Initially to provide a better service to the passengers around 20 air conditioned buses has been launched, each of the bus has 40 standard seats. The number of vehicles will be increased in phases.

BRTA Bangladesh Road Transport Authority has approved route permit to the company and also the DNCC - Dhaka North City Corporation has given permission to Himachal for operate 50 buses on the route.

Some passengers who need to go to Gulshan-1/ Badda/ via Gulshan-2, they used to change buses using the existing Dhaka Chaka. But now, one bus service is running through the Banani - Kamal Ataturk Avenue - Gulshan 2, Gulshan 1, Baridhara - Badda Link Road – Natun Bazar route. Passengers are feeling very comfortable and convenient with the new service.

Everyone hope that the new Gulsha Chaka bus will provide better service and passengers will ride smoothly. Moreover, the monopoly of doing business of a single company also needs to be changed. Otherwise, there will be no competition. And if the competition increases, passengers will get better service.

Dhaka Elevated Expressway will Open in 2021



Buses will run from Uttara Airport to Jatrabari Kutubkhali without any interruption through the Dhaka Elevated Expressway which is under construction. There will be no traffic congestion in this 20 kilometers long road way, not any traffic signals. People will be able to reach from one end of the city to the other end. This will be the benefit of Dhaka Eligible Expressway.


The Dhaka-Chittagong highway will connect to this Expressway and hope the construction will end in September 2021. This Expressway will be open for vehicular traffic from September-2021. Based on this goal, the project is progressing fast. At present in the project area, the workers and engineers are working 24 hours non-stop due to the dry season facility.

50% of the work of the first phase of this project has already been completed from Airport to Banani section. The second phase is from the Banani railway station to Moghbazar railway crossing which is expected to complete in July next year and the third or final phase will be completed in September 2021 which is from Maghbazar railway crossing to Kutubakhali in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway.

According to the government's plan, the project will be opened for transportation when the project is completed from the Kawla near Airport Railway station to Banani rail crossing and from the Banani rail crossings to the Magbazar railway crossing. At the same time, the third phase of work will continue.

The Dhaka Elevated Expressway has so far made 50% progress in the first phase and the overall progress of the project is 20%. There are total number of 1,304 piles in the expressway. Of these, 280 pile caps, 62 cross-beam constructions have been completed. Hundred percent works of 163 columns of the project is done. The remaining 84 columns were partially completed and the construction of 186 i-girders was completed. Apart from this, the work of establishing two span i-girders has already been completed.





The total cost of this project has been estimated to be 8,940 crore BD Taka. Total length of this flyover is about 20 kilometers. The route is starting from Kawla near Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport- Kuril Bishwa road- Banani- Mohakhali- Tejgaon- Maghbazar- Kamalapur- Sayedabad- Jatrabari- Kutubkhali of Dhaka-Chittagong Highway.




The project is being implemented on the basis of Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis. If the project is implemented, the traffic congestion will be reduced considerably inside Dhaka city. It will take only 20 minutes to Kutubakhali from the Airport. There will not even any traffic signals. As a result, vehicles coming from Chittagong city will not stuck in the inner streets of Dhaka city.

The passenger will be able to reach Chittagong from north part of Dhaka without facing any kind of traffic congestion. Not only that, the Dhaka Elevated Expressway will also provide regional connectivity to the Asian Highway corridor and this connectivity will be more advanced and dynamic.

It will also reduce travel costs because the fuel costs will decrease due to this expressway. The most profitable will be the time consuming during the journey. Within in a short span of time passengers will be able to travel 20 km distance. This will also accelerate the economic development of the country. Add new dimension to GDP, new horizons will be created in the field of communication in Dhaka city as well as the whole country.
