The plight of passengers :
The BRTA and the officials of the concerned ministry are requested to take a look at a photograph published on the last page of The Daily Star’s April 18 issue to get a glimpse of how much we are suffering as a result of the public transport system chaos. In our opinion, before implementing the drive, the government and concerned authorities should have foreseen the possibility of this reaction on the part of the transport owners, and arranged precautions against a shortage of public transport on the roads. Due to the unpreparedness on the part of the authorities, it is the regular people who are facing the harsh consequences. The authorities must look into the issue immediately.
