About Mohanagar Express (721)

Mohanagar Express (Train No. 721) is an overnight intercity service on the Dhaka–Chittagong corridor, complementing the Turna Express (741) and Subarna Express (701) on Bangladesh's busiest rail route. "Mohanagar" means "great city" in Bengali, acknowledging the metropolitan stature of both Dhaka and Chittagong. The train departs Dhaka in the late evening and arrives in Chittagong in the early hours, serving passengers who prefer night travel. Offering Shovan Chair and Shovan classes, it is more affordable than the AC-equipped Turna Express, making it the budget-friendly overnight option. The Mohanagar Express is especially popular with students, migrant workers, and traders who frequently commute between Bangladesh's two largest cities. With the Dhaka–Chittagong corridor handling the majority of Bangladesh's inter-city rail traffic, the Mohanagar Express plays a crucial role in absorbing passenger overflow from the premium services, ensuring that the rail network can serve all economic segments of society.
