Poor city transport management
The number of passenger buses, minibuses, and auto-rickshaws is much fewer in ratio to the population, resulting in the sufferings to the commuters. But there is little initiative to improve the communication system to end pains. Passengers wait for buses, occupying a portion of roads, hindering normal movement of traffic. Almost every bus and minibus are huddled with commuters, bus conductors and passengers often quarrelling over bus fare, many drivers parking vehicles in the middle of the roads, which are really indecent and uncivil.
We think that the Ministry of the Roads and Bridges, the BRTA, the Private Bus Owners’ Association and the two City Corporations should sit together to draw a map of modern city transport system as early as possible, asking the contractors of the under-construction flyovers to respect the given time in the work order.
If a man visits from Malibagh Mor to the Bangla Motor and from Maghbazar to Tejgaon IA, s/he will experience a severe experience of road anomalies. We want quick end thereof.
