And what's the total trade volume genius? $12 billion? What's that, 1.5% of our external trade?
Is that a significant amount for ''port economists''?
We also have a gigantic railway for that, which carried 1.2123 billion tonnes of freight last FY. Do you want me to talk about yours?
Yup, more efficient for sure. Just 5 million taka value-added annually to the GDP for every commercial vehicle in Bangladesh...
Talk about fudging data.
Oh & this...
lol, what?

On a related side note, how does a developing country like BD have a higher per GDP than India while having a far lower cement consumption?

Also, there are these interesting vehicles called dump trucks, which are widely used in the construction industry. Heard of it?
The market size of the same in India was $2.5 billion or something.
No use obfuscating. India has something called ''national permits'' for long-distance inter-state trucks, Only 1.5 million of India's 5 million strong truck fleet have NPs.
That effectively means that the rest ply in their own states or in proximity.
And I did compare the number of light commercial vehicles, which are used for door-to-door transportation. Too bad cycle rickshaws aren't counted lol.
lol, which state do you want to compare with? UP?
Number of registered trucks in UP: 348K (Bangladesh: 163K)
Number of registered buses in UP: 86K (Bangladesh: 75K)
Number of registered LCVs in UP: 334K (Bangladesh: 38K)
Do you want more? Kerala? Madhya Pradesh?
