Reality hurts? Don't worry, here's more...
According to BBS, the size of Bangladesh land transport sector is $28.4 billion.
The percentage share of land transport sector in Bangladesh's is 8.8% which is higher than the GDP share of all modes of transportation in India (7%).
There is are just 2 problems.
Problem 1: The number of commercial vehicles in Bangladesh per capita is just a fraction of the same in India.
As of 2018, Bangladesh has just..
1/5 times the number of trucks
1/3 times the number of buses
1/14 times the number of light commercial vehicles (4 wheelers- goods)
...per capita, when compared with India.
Want to see something even more funny?
Divide the value addition of land transportation by the total number of commercial vehicles in Bangladesh (490K). Each vehicle adds $58K or 4 million taka to the GDP.
I can't even...
Problem 2: Despite claiming a higher GDP per capita than India & a higher share for land transportation in GDP, the primary energy consumption of Bangladesh is a fraction of that of India, per capita.
Primary energy consumption in quadrillion BTUs (British Thermal Units)- US Energy Information Administration.
India: 31.328
Bangladesh: 1.551
That is 2.5 times more per capita.
So Bangladesh's road transportation sector is adding more than 2X per capita when compared with India while the country itself consumes just 2/5th of India's primary energy consumption per capita?
I dont know what you fill the fuel tanks of your trucks with, but the stuff even seen to violate the laws of thermodynamics.
