Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain on Tuesday said the government is set to form Dhaka Mass Transit Authority (DMTA) abolishing existing Dhaka Transport Coordination Board (DTCB) to look after Dhaka’s transport system.


“The DMTA Act 2009 will soon be passed in the Parliament to institute a more efficient and empowered body for Dhaka’s transportation system,” he said while addressing a seminar on Urban and Transport Development.


DTCB and Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) jointly organised the seminar at a city hotel.


The new body is intended to remove the inadequacies of DTCB that has so far been unable to function effectively, he said.


The DMTA Act will also have provisions to institute Dhaka Metro Rail Authority and other bodies as well, said the minister.
