Introduce more buses
The cantonment bound passengers from Shahbag to Balughat via Farmgate, Jahangir Gate, Garrison and CMH face all sorts of trouble. The commuters wait for the bus at Farmgate usually from 4:00pm to 9:00pm in a long queue to return to their respective destinations from workplaces.
Though male passengers can somehow handle the situation, women are almost helpless in this hassle. They have to stand on the road hour after hour to return home.
I would request the authorities concerned to look into the matter and increase the number of buses on this route in order to alleviate the sufferings of passengers, particularly women passengers. They should consider the fact that the number of passengers on this route is increasing day by day.
