Railway ticket Bangladesh:

The system of purchasing Railway tickets booking in Bangladesh is developing daily. Even people aren't going to stand in a long station line to purchase train tickets.

The government and the railway minister are attempting to build a suitable approach for becoming completely digital and improving the online train ticket purchase procedure. They created and sustained the E-Ticket website and the rail Sheba applications to provide an online railway ticket purchasing system in Bangladesh.

As it is the age of technology, you do not have to wait in line for an hour.

It is far more convenient to book a railway ticket online in Bangladesh. Using the Rail Sheba, Shohoz, and E-ticket websites, you may easily purchase rail tickets online in Bangladesh. We provide instructions on buying train tickets online in Bangladesh on each platform.

Why did the railway ministry alter the method of purchasing a train ticket online in Bangladesh?

There was a time when passengers had to wait an hour or more to purchase a train ticket, but the Bangladesh railway government and railway authorities decided this would no longer be the case.

Shohoz and the E-ticket website both provide online train ticket purchasing systems.

Which dictates the waiting hour and tension, but since the procedure of buying a railway ticket in Bangladesh was inefficient and inaccurate. People cannot buy tickets even days before they travel, indicating the existence of an illegal railway ticket selling industry.

Many unlawful persons buy train tickets days ahead and then sell them on Facebook, increasing the conflict of those trying to find or acquire railway tickets in Bangladesh.

Online train ticket BD registration:

First, you must register as a verified user on the E-ticket website. To complete this process, simply create an account using your NID card. You may also create an account by entering your birth certificate and giving more information. (We'll walk you through the steps at the bottom of this post.)



Since then, opening an online account for railway tickets in Bangladesh has been quite simple. However, it has also increased illegal activities such as ticket buying and selling on Facebook and other social platforms.

How to buy a train ticket online in BD:

Buying a railway ticket online in Bangladesh is far easier than registering or creating an account.

As the government in the railway ministry provides various options to purchase train tickets online, we will focus on how to purchase or buy train tickets on the e-ticket railway website for the time being.

  • You must use the same URL as before: www.eticket.railway.gov.bd

  • Now you have to log in to your recently created account. You must provide your email or phone number and password to log in.

  • After you enter your email address or phone number and password, you will be prompted to provide a 6-digit verification code, which will be sent to your email address or mobile phone number.

  • After completing the login process, you must purchase a train ticket by pressing the purchase ticket button.

  • You must find your ticket by entering your departure date and your desired station. For example, if you wish to go from Sylhet to Dhaka, you must choose a station in Sylhet and a departure station in Dhaka.

  • After filling out this field, you will be prompted to see whether any tickets are available for your destination. Make sure you buy your tickets at least 24 hours or two days before leaving.

  • You can choose your chair and prepared cabin if a ticket is available. The price of a train ticket online varies according to the cabin and seat number. 

  • After manually picking your available e-ticket, you will submit it for final processing.

  • It is now time to make your payment. You may buy online train tickets with a credit card, a debit card, or even a mobile banking system like Nagad or Bkash. Popular plugging automatically adds this payment option to the government e-ticket website, so there is no need to worry about errors.

Online train ticket booking process Shohoz.com

Shohoz is another effective online travel ticket-buying system that offers train, launch, and bus tickets through their Shohoz application.

Purchasing a railway ticket online or using the Shohoz app is not as simple as we discussed previously on the government website. However, their program will save you time and let you explore smoothly.

Please follow the steps below if you wish to book an online rail ticket using the Shohoz applications.

  • First, you must download and install Shohoz applications from Google Play or the App Store, and then you must launch and start the application.
  • Shohoz will ask you to choose between Bangla and English as your chosen language.
  • Shohoz will greet you when you pick your language, and you may now select Begin to continue.
  • You may now create an account or verify your user status by giving your mobile phone number.
  • You must now enter the 6-digit verification code in your SMS inbox. It takes less than a minute to send you the verification code.

Now you have completed the registration process.

Unfortunately, purchasing train tickets using the Shohoz app is temporarily unavailable. To purchase railway tickets in Bangladesh, you must wait a few days for Shohoz to publish the E-ticket procedure.

BD online train ticket buying Rail Sheba apps:

According to The Business Standards, 

The government rail Sheba apps won't work anymore.

In recent years, customers have used Rail Sheba applications to purchase online train tickets in Bangladesh, designed and maintained by the government. However, the current new online E-ticket system with Shohoz, dubbed 'Shohoz-Synesis-Vincent JV,' is a business that maintains the whole country's e-ticket with a functional government. And this is the most likely reason why the rail Sheba applications will discontinue operations.

If you wish to buy an e-ticket or an online train ticket, you must use the new Shohoz E-ticket system. At the beginning of the post, we provide detailed instructions on how to purchase an e-ticket bd in the new systems.

Bangladesh Railway online ticket booking time:

There is no specific time that the Shohoz JV has announced for booking tickets online. E-tickets went on sale for the first time at 8:00 a.m. On Friday.

In case you're looking forward to it!


On the first day of the new online e-ticket purchasing system, the user encounters challenges such as the website being down.

When we published this post, prominent news outlets such as BDNews24 wrote a story regarding the entire situation. They inquired about and discussed the new e-ticketing systems with railway officials and a Shohoz JV representative. He stated that it was not the fault of the computer or program but rather a result of the high volume of visitors to the website on the first day.

Easy online train ticket purchase system in Bangladesh:

If you want to buy an e-ticket conveniently online in Bangladesh, we propose you go to the official website of the E-ticket Railway. You may also purchase an e-ticket using the shohoz app, which will be available shortly.
