The trial run of the Guwahati-Dhaka bus service is scheduled to be flagged off from the Guwahati Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT) on Wednesday morning, with an objective to assess route conditions, estimate the actual journey time for a regular bus service and other technical parameters.
A joint team comprising of officials from India and Bangladesh will reportedly undertake the trial run to study the feasibility of a regular bus service between the two cities.
A seven-member Bangladesh delegation including Joint Secretary of Home Affairs and Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation are in Guwahati to undertake the study, while India is represented by officials from Ministries of Road Transport and Highways, External Affairs, Home Affairs and Finance, along with officials from Assam and Meghalaya.
