Airport bus service
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to travel to many different countries. In all airports I have seen airport bus services for commuters to travel between the airport and different parts of the city. This service was utilised by passengers, airport employees and anyone who wished to go to the airport to receive relatives or for other purposes. The buses were big, air-conditioned and had designated bus stops for them. These buses also had adequate luggage space. As this service was very affordable, many airports or airline employees did not bring their cars to the airport. This reduced a lot of congestion in the airport areas, traffic jams on the airport roads, and people did not have to worry about parking their cars in the expensive and limited airport parking lots.
Introducing a similar bus service from HSIA to different parts of Dhaka city would reduce traffic jams, consumption of fuel and also air pollution, and would greatly benefit the people.
I urge the government to look into this matter.
