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?
![Lol :lol: :lol:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/lol.gif)
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?
