Mass transit now!
I congratulate the writer of this well researched Point Counterpoint article published on Aug 17. The suggestion to shift the main railway terminal to Tongi is an excellent one coupled with the provision of frequent commuter trains between Tongi and Narayanganj. However to prevent traffic barriers it is necessary to construct a sky train mass transit system for commuter trains. This can be built on the existing roads on elevated pillars and completed much more quickly and without much disruption of traffic flow or services, and at a fraction of the cost of an underground system to carry passengers on this route.
