Commuters in trouble
Our main transports are vehicles like bus, rickshaw, cab etc. Though some metropolitan areas have recently been cleared of rickshaw to avoid traffic jam, but still there are a large number of rickshaws in the streets.
We cannot pass a single day without traffic jam. Rickshaw-pullers demand an extra rent of Tk 5-10 due to the unending price spiral. Sometimes it leads to a quarrel between travellers and pullers. A few days ago I read the shocking news of the killing of a rickshaw-puller in Dhaka for demanding an extra Tk 1.
My question is, are the common people responsible for the price hike? We need to have a system to bring back order to the transport sector.
