Decrepit, hazardous city transports

The number of public buses is increasing in Dhaka city. But the quality of service they are providing is very poor. We hear that there were those rickety buses called 'Murir Tin' in the past, but now we are witnessing those again in the city. The seats of many buses are broken and some are even tied with ropes. Many buses don't have windowpanes. Passengers often tear their clothes as those get entangled with sharp objects sticking out from you never know where -- at the entrance or it may be any other place of the bus. Some also get injured. Many buses don't have front light or backlight due to which accidents are taking place. In a word, the suffering of the people knows no bound.
Will we have a better transportation service ever?
