School students demonstrating on the Gulshan-Banani road called off their protest after transport owners assured them that they will be able to avail student fares on the circular buses on that road.
They left the roads around 2:30pm after nearly two-and-half hours of protests on Tuesday.
Councilor Mofizur Rahman assured the protesters that the students, teachers, transport owners and parents will meet on Thursday to decide on a reasonable fare.
Banani Bidya Niketan School and College students took position in front of the Banani-Gulshan-2 road on Tuesday. They were later joined by students of other college and university students.
Students allege that despite thousands of students commuting in these circular buses, on the Gulshan-Banani-Notunbazar road, they are not given the student fare facilities.
Moreover, no other buses other than the Gulshan Chaka and Dhaka Chaka run on the road and they charge Tk30 for a 2.5km commute.
On Monday, they announced demonstrations and took position on the road protesting the fares.
