On 26 December last year, Dhaka Nagar Paribahan began experimental operations from Ghatarchar in Keraniganj to Kanchpur in Narayanganj. The BRRC took around 10 months to add two new routes to the service.
The government formed the BRRC, headed by Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, on 9 September, 2018, to bring order to public transportation and decongest bus routes, introducing a management system under a company.
