Connections and transfers
MRT Line 6 — direct trains north (towards Uttara North) and south (towards Motijheel). No transfers needed for any L6 station.
Dhaka public buses — local BRTC and private bus routes serve the surface roads adjacent to Agargaon. Look for the signposted bus stand on either side of the road outside the station entrances.
Rickshaws and CNG auto-rickshaws — readily available at every entrance; useful for short hops to neighbourhoods not directly on the metro alignment.
Future MRT lines — Dhaka’s planned metro network (Lines 1, 2, 4 and 5N/5S) will add several interchanges over the coming years. See our network map for planned connections.
