Currently the Maitree Express runs at 50% occupancy-this is essentially due to limited runs (twice a week in each direction) and the terminal stations in both Kolkata & Dhaka being on the city outskirts. There is also a lack of publicity on the train services by both BD Railway & Indian Railways leading to passengers opting for the more stressful (and time consuming) road journey.
