About BD Railway Info

What is BD Railway Info?

BD Railway Info (bdrailwayinfo.org) is an independent, non-official reference website dedicated to Bangladesh Railway (বাংলাদেশ রেলওয়ে) passengers. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Bangladesh Railway or the Government of Bangladesh. We are a privately maintained informational portal built by railway enthusiasts and developers who believe that good public transport information should be accessible, fast, and easy to use for every Bangladeshi.

Our site provides free access to intercity and mail train schedules, seat class guides, fare charts, station information, Dhaka Metro Rail details, live SMS tracking instructions, and railway news — all in one place, in both English and Bengali.

বিডি রেলওয়ে ইনফো একটি বেসরকারি তথ্য পোর্টাল যা বাংলাদেশ রেলওয়ের যাত্রীদের সহায়তার লক্ষ্যে তৈরি করা হয়েছে। এই সাইট বাংলাদেশ রেলওয়ে বা সরকার কর্তৃক অনুমোদিত নয়। আমরা স্বেচ্ছামূলকভাবে সঠিক ও আপডেট তথ্য সরবরাহ করার চেষ্টা করি।

Our Mission (আমাদের লক্ষ্য)

Our mission is simple: make Bangladesh Railway information accessible to everyone.

Millions of Bangladeshis rely on railway travel every day — students commuting to university, families visiting relatives in home districts, business executives travelling between Dhaka and Chittagong, tourists heading to the Sundarbans or Cox's Bazar, and diaspora visitors reconnecting with their roots in Sylhet or Rajshahi. All of them deserve clear, accurate, up-to-date information to plan their journeys.

We built BD Railway Info to solve a gap: finding comprehensive, bilingual train schedules, seat class comparisons, station guides, and travel tips in one place was harder than it should be. We are fixing that.

Who We Are (আমরা কারা)

BD Railway Info was created by a small team of Bangladeshi developers and railway enthusiasts based in Bangladesh. The site was launched in 2024 and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of passengers monthly.

We are passionate about public transport, open information, and making Bangladesh's rail network easier to navigate for every citizen — whether they are a first-time rail traveller or a seasoned commuter.

We are not professional journalists or an official government body. We are volunteers and developers who care about improving access to public transport information for Bangladeshi citizens.

বিডি রেলওয়ে ইনফো ২০২৪ সালে বাংলাদেশী ডেভেলপার ও রেলওয়ে উৎসাহীদের একটি ছোট দল দ্বারা তৈরি করা হয়েছিল। আমাদের লক্ষ্য হলো রেলওয়ে তথ্যকে সবার কাছে সহজলভ্য করা।
