Dhaka City transport

If we look at the transport system of greater Mirpur-Pallobi area, we see there several transports plying such as buses on route nos. 1,2,8,9,14,17,36, Metro link, BRTC local and Volvo DC etc. Many of them run claiming Direct (non stop), Sitting, Gate lock services and charging much more than the normal fare. Moreover, the bus people do not give proper services as they commit. It is a matter of sorrow that during pick time a few local buses also take this advantage by turning themselves into direct service and asking for more ticket money from the passengers.

Very recently "Super local sitting service" has been launched on route no. 9 using few of the existing buses and charging more ticket money in return. We are surprised to see such an eye wash. During rush hours hardly any local transport is seen for passengers who would go a short distance. If any one rides a bus he has to pay full route or slab wise bus fare. Thus the bus people exploit the passengers. We don't know whether they got any permission for the way they are doing. besides this some time local buses push the passengers out before reaching the last stoppage on this that pretext. For instance on route no. 1 then often drive the passengers out from the bus at Mirpur-10 (Circle) on their trip from Gulistan to Mirpur-12, some time at Mirpur-11, Pallobi and Chourangi. This is not acceptable and outrageous. Moreover they allow vegetable, fish and so on to be loaded from Karwan bazar site, which is quite disgusting for the passengers. Transport owners should give at least 3/4 stoppages/slabs facility in bus fare considering distance so that people can move for their destinations faster by paying actual fare. I would request the authority to take proper steps for eradicating all unfair practices from the transport sector in order to give proper services to the general people.
