The trial run was organised to help develop the protocols for implementing the agreement. A similar trial run of cargo vehicle from India was conducted in November, 2015 from Kolkata to Agartala via Dhaka. Like in case of cargo vehicles, protocols have to be worked out for the movement of passenger vehicles too. A trial run of passenger vehicles was also flagged off from Kolkata on Aug 30 to Khulna in Bangladesh. The operator for trial run of passenger bus was the South Bengal State Transport Corporation (SBSTC) of West Bengal.
