Need to improve city's transport service

Due to lack of good transportation service in Dhaka, and lack of monitoring by the authorities, many people die every year in road crashes in the city and the situation has gone from bad to worse.

Dhaka metropolitan city has a population of over 16 million and the public transports are insufficient for this huge population. So to meet the demand of the residents of Dhaka, unfit vehicles are plying the city streets with unskilled drivers who often violate traffic laws and drive recklessly causing accidents. The BRTA should, therefore, take necessary steps to improve quality of public transport services which will eventually reduce the number of road accidents.
