The ticket machines that are being used at both Uttara and Agargaon metro rail stations in the capital accept all Bangladeshi banknotes, except for Tk500 and Tk1,000.
The machines will also not accept worn-out or torn notes and coins, said MAN Siddique, managing director of Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Company Limited on Thursday.
Passengers can buy tickets with any Bangladeshi note, except for larger banknotes of Tk500, and Tk1,000, said the official.
Siddique also noted that if a passenger wants to buy five tickets at once, then they can use a Tk500 note, which will be accepted by one of three machines at the stations.
He also mentioned that Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Company Limited will soon command a machine to carry out this task.
Meanwhile, metro rail passengers will be able to buy MRT pass cards from 3pm to 9pm on Friday.
The MRT pass cards will be available at the counters of Uttara and Agargaon stations, reports BSS.
Each passenger will have to pay Tk500 (Tk200 for the card and Tk300 as fare) at the counters and submit an MRT pass registry form (properly completed) for the pass card.
