E-ticketing introduced on Bangladesh's women-only 'Pink Bus' service

The Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) has launched an e-ticketing system on its "Pink Bus" service, exclusively for women. This new system, which utilizes point-of-sale (POS) machines, is now available on 14 buses operating across Dhaka, Chattogram, and Bogura.

The initiative was formally inaugurated at the Tejgaon BRTC Bus Depot. Shohoz Limited, the technology partner for this project, stated that the e-ticketing system is designed to enhance the speed, organization, and transparency of the ticketing process for passengers.

Shohoz is responsible for providing the necessary technology and implementation support. Their teams have also conducted training sessions for bus conductors on operating the POS devices, issuing e-tickets, and managing all related ticketing procedures. This technological upgrade is part of a broader effort to integrate technology-based ticketing and improve passenger services within Bangladesh's public transport network.
