Bus and train operators have announced that the sale of tickets for the Eid-ul-Fitr holiday rush begins on Tuesday. While bus tickets will be available both at counters and online, Bangladesh Railway has maintained its policy of selling 100 percent of its advance tickets online. Bus operators centred in Gabtoli and Kalyanpur will also begin selling advance tickets on Tuesday morning. Shubhankar Ghosh, general secretary of the Bangladesh Bus-Truck Owners Association, confirmed that their members will start charging Eid fares from Mar 12. Luxury bus services see fares double or even triple during the Eid season.
