Some questions
Shahbagh is one of the busiest places of Dhaka. It is very unfortunate that traffic system of this area is very poor.
I had entered into the bus to reach Dhaka University. As the bus reached Shahbagh, I requested the bus driver to stop his bus so that I could leave the bus safely. The bus driver did not pay heed to my request. In reply, he said, “Impossible.” He further advised me to leave the bus in its running state. Being inexperienced, I was feeling uneasy to leave the bus. Many passengers saw my condition but did not say anything. Finally taking the risk, I left the running bus.
Now I have some questions for my fellow citizens of Dhaka city. Was the action of the driver right? Was it not his duty to stop the bus? Why do the drivers and helpers prompt a passenger to leave the running bus? Is it not a crime? Don't they have any social responsibility? If any accident would happen, who would take my responsibility and also of my family? Why didn't the fellow-passengers speak a single word? How long would this continue?
