How Are Bus Passengers In Dhaka?


Transportation is a big problem in Dhaka city. There is not enough bus, cng or other transport to move from here to there in Dhaka. People cannot travel on local buses. Morning, noon, afternoon and at night the local buses are always crowded. You have to travel in standing condition always inside the bus.
 
You cannot expect seat in the local bus not only that it is regular scenery of bus that many passengers are going by hanging the rod outside the bus. So, transportation system is very poor in Dhaka.

There is no rule of bus fare in
Dhaka too. Public are paying high fare to the bus owner. Though in Dhaka city there is 50-60 paisa per kilometer but almost in all cases bus contractor are taking two times or three times higher than legal fare in the bus.

General people are helpless in this sector. They are bound to pay higher money to travel by the bus. Public are dissatisfied on this case. No government activities are seen to remove the public satisfaction in this sector.

To remove disadvantages from this sector govt can take long term plan. Govt can follow Malaysia’s LRT, Mono rail or underground rail system in city area. To implement such kind of project govt should invite private sector or foreign investor to work with them.

Now it is urgent and important for Bangladesh Govt to take master plan to remove transportation crisis in Dhaka. We hope Govt are alert and serious in this issue.
City dwellers are enjoying much better facilities in many big cities in the world. As a Dhaka dweller we also want to consume those developed facilities in local transportation system in Dhaka.

Overbridges in Dhaka

Bangladesh govt is showing negligence to do his responsibilities in many sectors. Over bridge is a safe way  to cross roads. Dhaka is a over populated city in the world. There is not enough buses, taxis, CNG in transportation system. For safe road crossing there is not enough over bridges or underpass in Dhaka. Though recently some over bridges have been made but due to lac of maintenance most of them are dusty and dirty.

People feel very uneasy and uncomfortable to use those bridges. After built up no DCC staff or cleaner come to clean those bridges. No DCC supervisor came to inspect those over bridge ever.

DCC is the chief authority to maintain all of those bridges. but it is a matter of frustration that continuously Dhaka city corporation is showing negligence to do their duty properly. They are not respecting common people's feeling. They never think about cleanliness of streets and over bridges in city area.

We are expecting necessary steps and action from related ministry to take care all of those over bridges regularly. Simultaneously they should throw garbage from dustbin of the street timely and daily. If they fail to do this important and sensation job the people's faith on goverment will lose gradually.

In this respect   as city dweller we will request prime minister to instruct those related authorities to do their job properly. Roads, over bridges, underpass, flyover, telephone booth, dustbin, footpaths, and overall cleanliness of Dhaka are the mirror of government's activity.

Like other bridges Zatrabari and  Mirpur-1 over bridges are covered with 2-3 inches dust and rubbish. Ij you tremble on these bridges it will be cleared that no dhaka city corporation cleaners ever sweeped those bridges after built.

People can assume about government easily by seeing those items in the street. There is no scope to escape from those problems. If the govt want to increase their popularity and want to stay in public's heart , then they must care all of these problems.

Democracy assures rights of all. But in Dhaka city at many areas city dwellers have been suffering from various problems in the city. They cannot walk in the street due to illegal footpath business, dirty environment in the street, dusty over bridge, cable jam on the head and many more disadvantages.

As a  Dhaka dwellers we expect Government will take necessary action to improve all of those public facilities in the street. Every year hundreds of millions of  dollars are spent for city corporation. Those are people's money not  government's parents money. So, govt should assure the proper utilization of public money otherwise Bangladesh govt will be introduced as a traitor not patriot.
