A/C bus service
Premium Bus Service --Uttara to Motijeel--taught us to stand in queue to get on the bus. This service got popularity in terms for quality service. Following their footsteps, two or three more companies started air conditioned bus service and finally all of them gradually stopped their services one by one.
After introduction of A/C bus service most of the high officials stopped using their own cars to go to their workplaces. Now there is no A/C bus service on any route inside Dhaka city. Consequently, high officials are using their own cars which are creating traffic jam. During office hours we see the menace of private cars on the road. In the traffic jams the number of private cars is higher than buses and in most of the private cars there is one passenger, other than the driver and some cars run without passengers! Some people bring their cars to Motijheel, Gulshan, Uttara, Dhanmondi and other areas just to attend office and keep the car on the road for the whole day.
In my opinion, the government should encourage the private sector to introduce A/C bus service on different routes of Dhaka city.
