What data is expected?
Timetables of major government operated (or commissioned) national-level public transport services (specifically bus and train). The focus here is on national level services (not those which operate only at a municipal or city level and which are not controlled or regulated by the national government). A 'yes' in any question will refer to both types of transport. However, if there is no national level service operated or regulated by the government for a given type of transport (for instance busses), then this type is ignored in this data category.

Details
Management of public transport varies in Bangladesh. While rail communication is fully run and managed by the government, the road and water transport is mostly managed by the private sector where the government-run services are also available. Timetable for passenger and goods services of railway are publicly available, so is the government-run Airlines and public buses. Time schedule of transport services operated by the private sector are not publicly available, though. Cannot find licence information.
