By bus, train, launch and air: fares, how long it takes and where it leaves from.
The government fare is from the transport authority's (BRTA) chart for non-AC buses, per seat. AC fares are set by the companies.
Last checked: 22 September 2026
Gazipur adjoins Dhaka: there are no long-distance coaches, only frequent city-service and counter buses (the district portal's text, last revised in 2014, says 06:00 till late night). BRTA's Dhaka Metro chart (diesel buses, Tk 2.70/km per passenger, not split by seat count) gives Fulbaria-Gazipur 41.5 km Tk 112 and Tk 99 to Gazipur Chourasta; Tk 87 from Mohakhali, Tk 59 from the Airport; Tk 113 from Sayedabad and Tk 99 from Gabtoli. The charts do not fully agree with each other: Mohakhali-Gazipur is Tk 87 on the Fulbaria chart and Tk 81 on the Sayedabad chart. No operator could be confirmed for 2026: BRTC's AC buses on the unfinished BRT corridor (launched 16 Dec 2024) are not on BRTC's own route list, and 2026 reports describe the BRT as unfinished with no dedicated buses. No dated source gives a travel time (Wikipedia mentions 1.5 to 4 hours for this corridor); expect long delays between Tongi and Gazipur.
