Holistic approach needed to improve public transport system

We have yet to see the full implementation of the Road Transport Act, 2018, even though five years have passed since its passage in parliament

It is a well-known fact that politicians seek to retain power once they attain it.

The transport sector in Bangladesh is plagued by irregularities, lawlessness, unreasonable fares, and passenger distress

Govt attitude must change for such tragedies to end

Eid vacations in Bangladesh are a time of joy and celebration with family, but it can also quickly take a turn for worse owing to the risky journey back home.

Reliable data key to preventing road crashes and casualties

Govt must fully implement road safety act, prevent crashes during upcoming Eid rush

A death is an accident only when it occurs in spite of all logical, scientific and experience-based steps taken to prevent it.

Our policymakers’ apathy is the real problem

Students and intern doctors of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital suspended their ongoing protest after the prime accused responsible for the attack on students and a female intern doctor was arrested early today (August 4, 2022).

On this week, 4 years ago, school and college students protested to ensure road safety for all.

Did the demands of the road safety movement fall on deaf ears?

Four years ago today, two students were killed when a bus, competing with another to get passengers, ploughed into a crowd.

In the face of student protests for road safety, transport owners and workers yesterday came up with the same old promises of not operating buses on daily contracts, and scrutinising licences before appointing drivers.

City commuters suffered long delays as hundreds of students blocked different streets yesterday, demanding safe roads and justice for the death of a fellow student in a road crash.

Under pressure from road safety protesters, the authorities yesterday suspended the operation of two bus services, but a section of demonstrators vowed to remain on the streets until all their demands are met.
