Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) has taken measures to ensure that elderly passengers and people with disabilities can use priority seats on metro rail coaches following the death of a passenger.
The information was disclosed in a press release issued on Wednesday (October 28).
The release said measures had been taken to ensure that women, people with disabilities and elderly passengers could occupy designated priority seats on metro rail coaches.
It also said mobile courts could be operated, if necessary, to ensure compliance with the rules.
Besides, floating shops and other illegal structures obstructing passenger movement have been removed to ensure a convenient environment for commuters.
The DMTCL said the seating arrangements for passengers with special needs and elderly people on priority seats were being enforced from Wednesday during mobile court operations.
