The Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) will import 200 air-conditioned buses under Indian Line of Credit (LOC).
The state-owned transport service provider will also import 400 non-AC buses and 500 trucks under the LOC, reports BSS.
Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said procurement process for bringing 400 buses and 500 trucks is at final stage.
The minister came up with the statement while replying to a starred question from opposition lawmaker Selim Uddin at the Jatiya Sangsad on Sunday.
He said the BRTC would float a tender for procuring 200 AC buses soon, adding,
“The digital system is being implemented at depots of the BRTC for ensuring transparency,” he said.
The minister said recruitment process of different positions along with drivers is underway as part of the government’s various initiatives to revive loss of the BRTC, adding, “Maintaining a goal for ‘providing service’ the BRTC is giving service with faire price.”
