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
Direct buses from Mohakhali via Bhaluka and Mymensingh; BRTC's route list (stamped 29 Sep 2025) has one non-AC bus from Kamalapur at 08:00, reaching Netrokona at 15:00. BRTA lists 155 km, Tk 374 (51-seat) and Tk 476 (40-seat); the district portal says about 162 km. The operator names (Shahjalal Express, Netra Paribahan) rest on a 2013 upazila page and a February 2026 blog article, so treat them as unconfirmed. No AC fare is given: the only figure found was an 'approximate' Tk 500-600 on that blog, and BRTC's own list shows no AC bus. Time: about 3.5 hours by the blog's account, 7 hours on BRTC's table, so allow for wide variation.
