Cheating people in the name of “sit-in service”

In the name of “sit-in service”, bus owners in Dhaka are robbing people of their hard-earned money. I am a regular passenger of Bus Route No. 3 which goes from Fulbaria (Gulistan) to Abdullahpur. The local bus service that I regularly use claims to be a “sit-in service” and has increased the bus fare, but the drivers and helpers continue to fill the bus well beyond seat capacity. The situation is more or less the same across the entire city.
We hope that the authorities will focus on this issue seriously so that bus owners and drivers stop cheating ordinary people.
