Bus tickets
In Dhaka city many bus companies maintain ticket counters from where people have to get on buses after buying tickets first. But many ticket sellers adopt a different way for their personal benefits. When a bus comes, people are in a hurry to enter into it but on receiving the money the seller instruct one or some passengers to board the bus without ticket. As the conductors and drivers get a portion of the non-issued tickets' money, the passengers generally do not face any problem in boarding the bus. I think some checkers are also involved in this act. If anyone insists on getting the ticket, the seller issues it angrily. The sellers do not do this illegal act for all passengers but they earn something in this way from around 10% of the passengers. It is my estimation.
