Tangail Bus Stand, Mohakhali

Located in the Mohakhali neighbourhood, it primarily serves destinations in northern Bangladesh, including Tangail, Mymensingh, Netrokona, Jamalpur, Sherpur, Kishoreganj and Bogura.
Renovations to the terminal were completed in 2005. The 15 crore taka ($2.3M) rehabilitation was part of the Dhaka Urban Transport Project, funded by a World Bank loan.
