BRTC has been able to carry out these services with the fullest satisfaction of the stake holders.

BRTC got re-organized after the liberation war under the direct supervision and dynamic instruction of the Founder of the new independent Bangladesh and Father of the nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. New fleet of buses and trucks have been introduced in different times. Presently, BRTC is the proud owner of 1116 number of buses and 140 number of trucks though this number is not enough to provide the desired service to the stake holders. Relentless efforts are being carried out to run BRTC in its full capacity.
