Unfair bus fares
It is quite difficult for the departments of the government to regularly monitor all the problems & sufferings of the people and address them properly. But there are some men-made problems which can be solved easily if the authorities look into them.
Thousands of passenger buses ply across Dhaka city roads every day. Different buses have different fares they apply their own techniques to snatch peoples' money into their pockets. Bus conductors of the important route number-6, plying from Motijheel to Gulshan Section-2, have been charging their own bus fares for a long time. They take Tk 12 from Gulistan to Gulshan-1. How many kilometres is Farmgate from Gulshan-2? How can the conductors charge Tk 7 for the journey? More alarming is the fact that bus-conductors misbehave with the passengers who raise any objection to their undue claim.
I would urge the government departments concerned and the BRTA to look into the matter.
