Dhaka-Bhanga-Faridpur route would be Tk288.39.

I am happy about this rate. No more hassling at crossing the river by the Aricha-Paturia ferry to reach Faridpur town.

But, how long it will take from Gulistan (?) to Faridpur town? 4 hours?

All buses in gulistan route will have go through aricha. They can't use padma bridge cause it might create more traffic jam inside dhaka

No. We take buses at Gabtali when we go to Faridpur. I heard that Gulistan will be a new terminal for taking a bus to cross the Padma Bridge.

Oops said gulistan instead of gabtoli.

I would say it can be done in less than 3 hrs.. although don't know about traffic condition from bhanga-faridpur. Main 65km expressway+bridge can be done in 1hr
