I have no idea why FE report inserted a picture from India. Bangladeshis don't own that many old Bajaj Chetaks like shown here.

Ultimately, motorcycles will spell the end of rickshaws. Local brands are cheap enough already and when govt. clamps down on imports insisting on local 100% assembly (lowering costs even further) - then more and more people will be able to afford them. There are no rickshaws in Vietnam, just millions of motorcycles and scooters on the road.

I feel sad about these rickshaw pullers, but they will get other jobs. They keep on pulling because Bangladeshis are too lazy to walk and Govt. is too careful by appearing "heartless" to poor people. But neighboring countries already did this, there is no alternative to increasing road safety and lowering death rates on the road.

Slow Rickshaws are an eyesore and a hazard on the road pulled by uneducated people who don't know the first thing about road safety and traffic rules. It has been fifty years, ban these things already!

We should make it super hard to get licenses too, that alone will lower accident rates. Especially commercial bus/truck licenses.

Please do not ban Rickshaws until the MetroRail is in place and bus operations are spread and well-organized centering on many MetroRail stations.

At present, buses owned by individual companies run and compete to catch passengers. Should you not put an end to this BD culture? Only one bus company should be allowed to use a single route.

So, many bus companies should be required to create a Holding Company (A) shared by individual companies. Buses of only this A company should be allowed to run on any individual route.

As usual, here also you will see the GoB has so far failed to create a system and the buses owned by many individual companies compete each other to get passengers.

Rickshaw is a problem, but many regulations are needed to improve the passenger transport situation. BD lacks any kind of regulations. Everyone creates his own laws and routes.
