Dhaka Metro Rail Map – Unofficial Concept

16 November 2023 · CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

In 2022, Dhaka opened its first rapid rail transit line, the MRT Line 6 running from Uttara North to Motijheel. I managed to give it a ride earlier this year when I was visiting family, and I was very impressed - it was clean and reliable, although the whole sticking-a-station-above-a-major-road thing was a bit strange to me.

The data for this map was based on the current Phase 1 plans from the DMCTL website. As you might be able to tell, I also took heavy aesthetic inspiration from the Sydney Trains/Metro map. It was a natural choice of influence, since I am a Sydneysider.
