Undue harassment
Distance between Gulistan to Saidabad is hardly 2 kilometers but, surprisingly, all bus conductors snatch taka five from each passenger as fare. When asked on several occasions, the conductors reply in rude voice that this is their rate. Secondly, the 'tempo' which is the main transport for small income group people charge taka six between Gulistan to Chawk Bazar will be hardly 3 kilometers.
When asked tempo drivers reply that they have cannot help. Keeping anonymity, he mentioned that a ruling party leader based in Chawk Bazar area is the overall 'authority' of this sector and he controls all these tempos and other sectors. I would like to draw attention of the BRTA /concerned authority to look into the matter seriously and save the passengers from undue harassments.
