e-Car service introduced on CU campus

CHATTOGRAM, August 19, 2025 (BSS) - E-Car service has been introduced on Chattogram University (CU) campus to make the student’s communication and transportation inside the campus more easy, safe and faster. 

CU Vice Chancellor Prof. Yahiya Akhter today formally inaugurated the electronic shuttle service for students at Zero Point on the campus. 

Maa Enterprise – a commercial venture and “Our Green Campus “-a campus-based organization jointly introduced first ever such modern transportation service for internal movement of the students. 

CU administration sources said the service has been introduced on test basis with 6-colorfully decorated 13-17 seating capacity vehicles and later at least 40 such vehicles will be engaged based on the service performance.  

E-car service initially will run on 2-routes – one from Zero point to Faculty of Biology while another route is from Zero point to Law faculty and Social Science Faculty via Sohrawardy Hall and Gate No:2 .
 
Per person lowest fare has been fixed at Tk. 5 and highest fare is Tk. 15 for different destinations.  

CU students have been suffering for a long time while moving from one place to another inside the vast hilly campus and also for scattered location of different academic and administrative establishments. 

Students usually have to count a large amount of money for transportation in and around the campus by CNG-run auto-rickshaw and manually driven-rickshaw. 

Speaking at the inaugural function, VC Prof. Yahiya Akhter said the authority has decided to introduce e-Car service aimed at lessening the suffering of students. 

He hoped that students can attend the classes on time and perform their other academic activities by taking advantage of the newly introduced automated services. 

Pro-VC (Academic ) Prof. Md Shamim Uddin Khan , Pro-VC ( Admin ) Prof. Md Kamal Uddin , Dean of Social Science Faculty Prof. Enayet Ullah Patwari and Proctor Prof. Tanvir Md Haider Arif were present at the function.
