Bashabo-Tantibazar bus service required

The southeast part of Dhaka city, which includes Bashabo, Goran, Nandipara, Kadamtala, Sabujbag and Rajarbag, does not have an affordable and comfortable bus service. The inhabitants have been suffering a lot due to the lack of affordable means of transportation. Rickshaws have been barred on many busy roads. CNG-run auto-rickshaws are neither easily available nor affordable, while taxicab is an out-of-reach service for commoners.

BRTC would reportedly buy 600 new buses soon. If it introduces a bus service from Bashabo to Tantibazar via Bashabo-Shajahanpur flyover, Rajarbag Police Hospital, Purana Paltan, Zero Point, Gulistan and Bangsal, millions of people of the southeast part of Dhaka metropolis will be able to enjoy an affordable bus service.
