Rude rickshaw pullers!

Our most deprived rickshaw pullers all of a sudden have become most apathetic human beings, showing no willingness to help, especially the female passengers, when they literally beg them to take them to their desired destinations, finding no other means to reach their places. These rickshaw pullers willfully sit idly on their rickshaws and pay no attention to the passengers' repeated requests. They don't even have the minimum courtesy to give any reply to passengers' inquiry. If anyone agrees to go it seems like they are doing a big favour. But the fare he demands makes the passenger speechless. These rickshaw pullers are doing this to harass the passengers purposefully. I really don't know why they behave in this manner these days. Are they earning enough which makes them less interested to take a passenger or they behave this way just to have fun seeing the passenger running here and there for a rickshaw? Dhaka City Corporation must do something to ease this situation by hanging a chart of rickshaw fares everywhere, and our traffic police can also play a vital role by directing them to take the passengers to their desired destinations. If they do not agree to do so, traffic police can confiscate their license and rickshaw, both.
