The expansion was suggested as their is city expansion occurring in the north-western region owing to industrial development. The initial Mass Rapid Transit line-6 (MRT-6) was planned to be completed by the end of 2019, whereas the expansion is set upon completion for 2035. The expanded network is going to stretch along 41 km, stated the Executive Director of Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA).
