Dhaka buses need some face-lift

The buses which are plying the Dhaka city streets are very dirty with broken window glasses. They look like vehicles from the prehistoric era. Even the newly imported BRTC double-decker buses have accumulated a thick layer of dust on them. The private company buses like Falgun, Bengal and many others are also decrepit and due for dumping at the junkyard. Most of these buses do not have backlights which make driving in Dhaka dangerous after the sunset. The owners of these buses can easily manage the road fitness certificate from the generous and kind-hearted BRTA officials. I would like to request the authorities concerned to order BRTC and the private bus owners to wash and clean their vehicles as well as mend the windows of those vehicles before the T20 World Cup Cricket 2014 matches take place in Dhaka. A city with dirty and dilapidated vehicles plying across its streets does not look attractive no matter how much the streets are decorated with colourful banners, festoons and flowers.
