Bangladesh Road Transport Authority launched a massive drive against 20 years old buses and 25 years old minibuses, trucks, vans etc. on 13 July. For unfit vehicles the deadline was 15 July. Everybody in Dhaka city hailed the drive. Nearly 1446 buses, 8125 trucks and 2365 minibuses were found totally unfit for plying on city roods. But sorry to say, due to unforeseen hurdles BRTA's initiatives have gone in vain. The old buses have returned to city roads. Commuters are indeed helpless.
