Bangladesh Satellite Company Limited (BSCL) has launched a trial of satellite-based internet on a moving BRTC bus to assess the feasibility of providing high-speed connectivity on public transport.

The trial was conducted on Tuesday at the BRTC Dhaka Truck Depot in Tejgaon during the inauguration of the BRTC women’s bus service, known as the Pink Bus.

BSCL installed a Starlink High Performance device on one of the moving buses and demonstrated the satellite internet connection.

Road Transport and Bridges, Railways and Shipping Minister Sheikh Rabiul Alam attended the event as the chief guest.
