Bus, ship tickets, travel pass together on bdtickets

After a long wait, Saint Martin has reopened to tourists, welcoming travel enthusiasts to explore Bangladesh’s only coral island.

Planning a trip to the island, however, can sometimes be challenging, particularly when travellers need to arrange bus tickets, ship tickets and the required Travel Pass separately. A lack of awareness about booking procedures and travel guidelines can also leave travellers vulnerable to ticket fraud.

To make the journey easier and more convenient, bdtickets, an online ship ticketing platform approved by the Bangladesh Tourism Board, now allows travellers to book bus tickets, round-trip ship tickets and the Saint Martin Travel Pass together on a single platform.

Travellers can book their bus journey to Cox’s Bazar along with round-trip ship tickets and the Travel Pass through bdtickets, bringing all essential travel arrangements together in one place.

Travellers are also advised to follow several important guidelines to ensure a smooth journey to Saint Martin. The name and date of birth provided during booking must exactly match the information on the traveller’s National ID card.

Under government guidelines, travellers must also collect a printed ticket containing a QR code from an authorised ticket counter before departure. A digital copy alone will not be sufficient for travel.

Tickets must be booked in advance, as there will be no facility to purchase them at the jetty. Both the Bangladesh Tourism Board and ship authorities will check tickets before boarding, and travellers are advised to keep their tickets with them throughout the journey.

With bdtickets, travellers can make bookings 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For ticket-related assistance, customers can contact the customer care team by calling 16460.

More information about available services and offers is available on the official bdtickets Facebook page, mobile app and website.
