Bangladesh Railway has begun selling advance tickets for train travel ahead of Eid‑ul‑Azha, expected on 28 May.
Tickets for trains departing on 23 May went on sale Wednesday. For passenger convenience, all tickets are being sold online.
Sales for trains in the western region opened at 8am, while tickets for eastern region trains will be available from 2pm.
Under the Eid plan, advance tickets will be sold for five days before the festival: tickets for 24 May trains on 14 May, for 25 May trains on 15 May, for 26 May trains on 16 May, and for 27 May trains on 17 May.
Each passenger may purchase tickets only once, with a maximum of four per transaction. Advance Eid tickets are non‑refundable.
To meet demand, 25 percent of seats (excluding higher‑class seats) will be sold as standing tickets at station counters on the day of travel.
