Private car
This is in regard to a letter on the issue written by Mr. Md. Mahabubur Rahman. He reasoned his article with a simple solution that dwellers of Dhaka city should opt for private cars instead of travelling like a chimpanzee on the bus and risk their precious lives. I do agree with the writer but I would also like to remind him that he may have forgotten the per capita income of the people of this country and also the living pattern, financial ability and spaces that are needed to keep these private cars. I would therefore request our road transport authorities to introduce more private buses on the roads in order to alleviate the sufferings of the general public and improve the traffic problems of the city. It is also important to mention that the government must adopt a policy such as "one car one family" instead of having 3/4 car per family and if this policy is properly maintained the influx of private cars will minimize substantially on the roads, or, otherwise, very soon the country will be running out of the much needed gas.
