Westbound trains for the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays have been fully booked within 30 minutes of tickets going online on the second day of sales. The sales opened on the Bangladesh Railway website at 8:00 am on Saturday. “After the ticket sales began, there were 7.3 million hits [on the Bangladesh Railway website] between 8:00 am and 8:30 am,” said Md Mohabbatjan Chowdhury, a Bangladesh Railway official. However, just two minutes later, all AC and Snigdha-class tickets were sold out. Since Eid-ul-Fitr 2023, Bangladesh Railway has switched to a fully online ticketing system for Eid travel.
