Organized by the BRTA Jashore Circle to mark National Road Safety Day on Thursday the operational drive is being conducted across key locations in the city, including the Jashore Central Bus Terminal.
As part of the program, banners and drop-down displays have been installed at prominent road intersections and terminals. In addition, updated fare charts were provided to transport counters, and educational leaflets on road safety were distributed directly to passengers.
Officials stated that the drive aims to guarantee smooth passenger transit, raise public awareness about transport services, and ensure compliance with government-mandated fare rates.
