Commuters in trouble
In our Dhaka city, among many problems faced by the residents daily, transportation problem is the gravest. The condition of the buses is very bad and overcrowded. Some are broken, and the seats are not at all comfortable. Moreover, the drivers drive carelessly and they do not care about the traffic signals at all. CNG and taxicab drivers will always say no to the commuters. If they show the mercy to go, then they will obviously charge double the normal fare. Rickshaws are not allowed to go everywhere, especially on the VIP roads.
We the commuters are in great trouble. To ease traffic congestion the government may consider allowing cars on roads with odd and even registration numbers on alternate days. This will accommodate more buses to ply for commuters. In front of traffic signals, overtaking should be prohibited. Footpaths and overbridges can be repaired and illuminated conveniently, so that people can use those with ease.
