MRT Line 6

The MRT Line 6 (Bengali: এমআরটি লাইন ৬) is a line on the Dhaka Metro Rail. It is Bangladesh's first rapid transit line and has been in service since 2022. It is an entirely elevated line and currently has 16 stations in service between Uttara North and Motijheel.

The line was the result of the proposal of a mass rapid transit system in Dhaka by the Review Committee of the Strategic Transport Plan led by Jamilur Reza Choudhury and the Urban Traffic Formulation Study prepared by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.

Its construction started in 2016 but was delayed several times as a result of disagreements about the route, the July 2016 Dhaka attack, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The first phase of the line was gradually opened in 2022. In 2023, the second phase of the line was inaugurated.

An extension to Kamalapur is expected in 2026. There is a plan to further extend the line north towards Tongi in the future. It is the most expensive mass rapid transit line in terms of construction cost in Asia.
