How do you pay the price of safety as a woman living in Bangladesh? For many, the answer is with dignity.

The new pink bus service in Dhaka aims to bring order to chaotic roads with ticketing and designated stops. While some commuters are hopeful, others remain sceptical, fearing it won’t solve traffic issues or curb chaotic behaviour.

Approximately 2,610 pink buses operated by 21 different companies will serve routes from Abdullahpur to various destinations across the capital.
