Govt 'going slow' with subway plan

The government is taking a “go slow” policy for its plan to build a subway for Dhaka city and adjacent areas, which aims to ease traffic congestion and improve communication.

Bikers rule footpaths, pedestrians roads (video)

If you are told: Name a city where you can drive or walk as you like, the first answer would be Dhaka! Because people find their own ways to go around the city. Traffic signals change colors—from green to red to green again--but the drivers need not pay any attention to them. But even worst menaces are motorcycles zooming by on the footpaths or people darting through the speeding cars to cross the roads among the already chaotic traffic.
