Impact
During the construction of MRT Line 6, the area around the three metro stations located in Uttara Model Town began to increase in population. The metro facility under construction has potential to increase connectivity in the Uttara Model Town Phase 3 sectors as housing developers invested a total of BDT50,000 crore in Uttara and Mirpur areas. Due to the construction of MRT Line 6, new buildings are being built in the new sectors developed in Uttara. Besides, various commercial establishments and factories started to develop in the Greater Mirpur area centered on the Metro Rail.

After the opening of the first phase of MRT Line 6, people traveling from Uttara to Agargaon started using Metro Rail and this led to an increase in the number of passengers using Metro services who used to travel by bus earlier. This has alarmed bus service officials, who fear that bus ridership may drop significantly after the second phase is launched. Therefore, according to the bus transport owners, the management and quality control of bus service has become necessary here to maintain the number of bus transport users serving the route of MRT Line 6.
