Train Fare from Jamalpur to Dhaka by Seat Class
Train fares in Bangladesh depend on distance and seat class, not on the train name. So every intercity train on the Jamalpur to Dhaka train schedule charges the same fare for the same class. The fare is also the same in both directions.
Fares on the Dewanganj line went up on 20 December 2025, when Bangladesh Railway added a pontage (bridge) charge. To avoid guessing, the table below shows two fares we could confirm: Dhaka to Mymensingh, which is shorter than your trip, and Dhaka to Dewanganj, which is longer.
Table: Fares that bracket the Jamalpur fare (adult, one way)
