- Arrive 10-15 minutes early. This leaves time for the gate, stairs and the platform.
- Avoid the rush if you can. Weekday mornings (8-10 AM) and evenings (4:30-7:30 PM) are the busiest.
- Expect crowds at key stations. Farmgate, Agargaon, Karwan Bazar, Shahbagh and Motijheel fill up at office hours.
- Check the Motijheel platform. Platform 1 is used until 3:00 PM, then Platform 2 on weekdays and Saturdays.
- Listen to announcements. Operational updates are made on the platform.
- Plan late trips carefully. After 9 PM trains are 15 to 20 minutes apart.
- Carry the right fare. Load your MRT Pass in advance or buy the ticket before you enter.
