CNG meter hoax
I commute between Uttara to Sayedabad for my work. I usually avail the public bus service often but take the CNG as well. A ride in CNG costs about Tk 110. But last Thursday when I hired a CNG, I was perplexed seeing the meter running faster than it should. It was showing 100 meter run for about every 60-70 meter. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the discrepancy. While I asked the CNG driver about it, he gave me a mischievous grin and said nothing. I eventually had to pay as per the meter reading.
I would request the law enforcers to enquire into the loaded or manipulated meters. The CNG commuters should also be vigilant.
