Bus tickets to N-dists sold out; trains leaving on time

On the last Friday before Eid, the bus terminals in Dhaka are bustling with commuters on their way home before the holidays begin.
Despite the cloudy skies since morning, their Eid journey continues unabated.
Holidaymakers are going home comfortably this year as trains have been leaving on time for the last two days.
“Since Friday morning, nine buses have departed on time, all fully seated. The bad weather has not posed any issues. All seats are booked for today and tomorrow, with only a few available on the 16th,” said Md Anwar Hossain, the counter master of Shahjadpur Travel, which operates buses to northern districts. He said there are slight congestions on the highway on the route, but it is not significant.
