The minister made the remarks while exchanging views with officials and employees after visiting the Diabari metro rail depot after traveling by metro rail from the capital's Bangladesh Secretariat Station today. Considering the metro rail as the 'backbone' of the communication system, the possibility of launching monorail in populated areas in the future is also being considered, he said. Alam said the government is giving importance to developing an integrated modern public transport system in the capital by giving importance to these three sectors - monorail, metro rail and buses. The meeting was presided over by Road Transport and Highways Division Secretary Dr Mohammed Ziaul Haque.
