From Gabtoli by the Paturia-Daulatdia ferry and Goalanda; BRTA lists 108 km, Tk 330 (51-seat) and Tk 420 (40-seat) including the ferry toll. The district portal (updated 24 Sep 2026) lists five operators with 'possible' departure times from Dhaka and a fare of Tk 390; confirm times before travelling. Journey time depends on the ferry queue and is not given in any source. The portal names neither the Dhaka counter nor the Rajbari terminal (Gabtoli is the terminal on the BRTA route). Shohoz also lists Shuvo Bosundhara Paribahan and Hanif Enterprise for this route but showed no trips on 10 or 12 Oct 2026. Some through buses reach Rajbari by the Padma Bridge instead of the ferry (see alternative_via).
