Failing to procure specialised buses for launching dedicated bus service on Dhaka-Gazipur Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, the authorities are now introducing BRTC buses on the route, a deviation from the original plan.
The limited launch of the metro tomorrow is unlikely to make any real dent in Dhaka's traffic problem
Four days after the tragedy that killed five of a family in Uttara, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) authority finally started setting up safety barriers along around 10 kilometres of the project area, from Uttara to Gazipur.
They were all in a festive mood as the son of the family got married just two days ago.
At least four people in a car were crushed to death after a segment of a viaduct of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project fell on the vehicle in Dhaka's Uttara area this afternoon (August 15, 2022).
The rapid bus service, much touted as a way to ease the capital's chronic traffic congestion, may be implemented only in part, and that too not before 2024, as arbitrarily built flyovers block its proposed route, said officials and transport experts.
