About this app

MRT Buddy is a third-party, unofficial app designed to make your Dhaka Metro Rail and Rapid Pass experience smoother and more convenient. With MRT Buddy, you can:

- Tap your Dhaka Metro Rail and Rapid Pass cards on your NFC-enabled phone for instantly checking balance.
- View and store the balance and last 19 transactions directly on your device.
- Build up your travel history for insightful statistics and analysis.
- Manage multiple cards easily by saving and naming each one.
- Use the fare calculator to estimate trip costs and check available balance for any route.
- Experience complete privacy with no ads, no tracking, and offline functionality—your data stays on your device.

MRT Buddy sources its trip data and transaction details directly from the NFC chip embedded in your Dhaka MRT Pass and Rapid Pass cards, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information. The fare calculator is built using the official fare chart published on dmtcl.portal.gov.bd, providing reliable estimates for your journey costs.

MRT Buddy ensures accessibility for everyone with Bangla and English language support. Prioritizing your privacy, the app operates entirely offline with no ads or data tracking, so your information remains yours alone.

Ratings and reviews

I've been waiting for this. To see my travel history and balance without actually going to a station. It seems minimalistic and user friendly. Only essential features are included. Hope we will be able to recharge from this app in the future...

After the update, Before opening the app, when I punch the card in my phone it says "No supported application for this NFC Tag" and the app does not run automatically. But when I open the app then it works totally fine. When you get free time please fix this issue. And Take my deepest gratitude for your effort in this project.

I’ve been waiting for an app like this to launch—great job by the developers! The only improvement I’d suggest is enabling NFC terminal payments through the app. Sometimes I forget to bring my card, so it would be great to have the option to pay directly using my smartphone’s NFC. Looking forward to seeing this feature added!
