DMP asks people to keep time in hand to avoid delays
Tk 3.80cr toll collected from the bridge in 24 hours
As thousands of Eid holidaymakers left Dhaka yesterday, many suffered on roads due traffic congestions on three major highways and at an exit point of the capital in the morning.
Stuck at the Mirpur-10 intersection, commuters may wonder why authorities cannot solve the nagging tailback problem despite knowing the solutions.
A long tailback on the Dhaka-Tangail-Bangabandhu Bridge Highway, specially from Elenga to Bangabandhu Bridge, has caused immense suffering to thousands of homebound people ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr
Rifat Jahan was worried about her Eid journey home with her son and niece as her husband could not accompany them on the trip to Jamalpur’s Sarishabari upazila.
Sources said pressure on the public transportation system -- buses, trains and launches -- rose manifold from the evening due to a sudden rise of passengers
Traffic congestion inflicted by unplanned urbanisation and expansion reduces the country's overall GDP by 2.9 percent.
Dhaka is now a black hole: a city consuming millions of residents but has no sense of quality life.
