Metro trial run likely in July Metro trial run likely in July Staff Correspondent Staff Correspondent The authorities might start trial runs of the country's first ever metro rail service in July as the first train is expected to arrive in April, officials said. Although the overall progress of the project was only 56.94 percent as of January, the metro rail authorities said they were working hard to meet their target of launching the service in December this year. Officials will be able to tell whether that target can be met after examining the trains, said MAN Siddque, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd (DMTCL).
