The Dhaka Metro (Bengali: ঢাকা মেট্রো) is an approved metro rail system under construction in Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. Referred to as the MRT, from Mass Rapid Transit, the system will be accompanied by a BRT system running alongside the MRT's Line 6. Both of these have been long called for to solve the extreme amount of traffic jams and congestion that occur throughout the entire city on a daily basis, among the heaviest in the world.

Construction began on 26 June 2016 with an inauguration ceremony presided over by Sheikh Hasina
The deal for construction of the 20.1 kilometres (12.5 mi)[3] Line 6, costing $2.8 billion, was signed by the government of Bangladesh with the Japan International Cooperation Agency on 20 February 2013.[4] This first route, originally projected to start from Pallabi, a northern suburb of Dhaka, to Sayedabad, in the south of the capital,[5] was eventually extended north to Uttara and truncated south to Motijheel
All of Line 6, save for the depot, as well as some of its accompanying BRT, will be elevated above current roads, with stations also elevated. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will serve as a project consultant.[7] A video released by the Dhaka Mass Transit Company appears to show that the system plans to use smartcards
