Dhaka metro construction finally begins tomorrow

[bd_4_ever]

I myself have one motorcycle, not enough money to buy a car In Vietnam, the cost of a car is expensive than 3 or 4 times ( the tax is 300%, because the government want to limit the number of car, the Vietnamese road is not secure for too many cars ). And Coming in the road in Vietnam is dangerous like in the war. Each year, we lost one division because of accident

Haha I can imagine. Things are pretty much the same in Bangladesh too. We have 400% VAT on car imports and yet people muster enough money to buy cars regularly. Also, as Dhaka is not a very well planned city.. the traffic gets worse during rush hours or during heavy rain. Accidents are very common too. So metro is definitely a viable solution even if it is expensive.

Mr. Anish, I will resist the urge to post sorry pictures of even worse overcrowded Indian Railway trains with roof riders ....don't have the time or patience now....

Well, that's good because if you do that Indian members might start posting pics of 8 operational Indian metros or 8 metros under construction. You don't want that do you ?

Japan is known as the germany of asia. Lets just hope we can maintain the railway system.

8 operational and 8 under construction are a good progress for a poor India. We will start with MRT-6 and finish with

Japan is known as the germany of asia. Lets just hope we can maintain the railway system.

Japanese train system functions like an atomic clock without almost no delaying except in some special cases, such as human accident or breakdown of a train. Tokyo and its vicinity have about 278 rly stations served by many different train lines along many different routes. Tokyo itself has 13 underground (subway) lines and there are tens of other surface trains.

The trains arrive at each station every 3 minutes in the early morning hours until, say, 10:00 o'clock. After this every 8 minutes. There are local, semi-express and express trains in almost every line. The lines are always double tracked with many more tracks at the both approaches of stations, specially in the junctions. All the trains are fitted 24 hrs. with a/c in the summer and heater in the winter.

The Japanese will certainly introduce many of their good systems in the MRT-6 lines and stations. But, knowing the human quality of BD people I am rather pessimistic about their performance when the Japanese training team left the country. Time itself is without importance and value to BD people. I only wish the MRT staff would reverse the character and bring about punctuality in the train operation.

Sure, just rember you are LDC citizens with half our per capita GDP...

Sure, just remember you are LDC citizens with half our per capita GDP...

But, is not India just a underdeveloped country, as well? It has been unable to improve the living standard of its people only because the majority are Sudra and acchyut.

No we aren't. We are a developing country/Newly Industrialized country & NOT an LDC.

Rest of your post is brainfart- well you can expect anything intelligent from 2 patents an year Bangladeshis can we?

Only Delhi metro can be considered a thing appropriate for the size of Indian population.Other 7 are tiny have combined length less than Delhi metro.Do not show us the so called 'metro' with 9-10 km length which only cheap Indian can feel proud of.

Another stupid Bangla troll. Metro rails aren't built for the 'Indian population' but for a particular city.

Delhi (NCR) has a large urban sprawl, so it will require large metro- actually it will be soon having 4 metro systems. For a city the Size of Kochi or Lucknow, 25 or 33 km metro will suffice for now. Route length will increase as the city grows.

And what's the route length of your much vaunted Dhaka metro project ? 22 km, that too for 18 million Dhakaites. So much for bragging

Even Kolkata is building some 90 km of metro rail simultaneously to be ready by 2018-19, even with idiotic TMC & Mamta in power.

I'd have more reason to be happy to get ToT for local assembly. That way - proper maintenance would be automatically assured.

A railway coach is assembled part by part in an assembling plant by many workers according to the mechanical drawings and according to a pre-determined schedule. It is almost like a musical orchestra where every one plays his tune, but a lead sheet is there, which sets out the melody, lyrics and chord progression. A harmonic process like this is needed also to assemble a coach.

Hundreds of body, mechanical and electrical parts as well as rolling stocks are produced in other factories, who supply the parts in the required quantity and good quality by the scheduled time to the assembly plant. Hundreds of steps with correct sequence are then taken to assemble these parts one by one.

My question is, are we people capable to set up correct private organizations to learn and do all these tedious works from the Japanese who have very little manpower to help BD? It is not machines that do the difficult assembling. Rather, it is the workers who do this tedious job with the help of machines and tools.

I believe, BD people have not reached that stage. My suggestion is to break open at least one coach, do your own drawings of the parts and everything, and manufacture them (we can import them as well) and then assemble the coach. Unless the people of BD want to go through this painful process, there is little prospect that it will ever be able to produce its own coaches.

However, I also believe not Japan, but Indonesia, can help us more in this field. However, correct private organizations are absent in BD to do the job that requires harmony among men as well as with machines.

Don't judge everything by the example of Bangladesh Railway. When on that do you know that all the engines in BR service is 32-35 years old?
Or that 70% of the coaches are 20 years old in average? You should be thanking the god or whatever for that they can still make those shit run on a track.

And certainly Japanese people came out of their mother's womb syncd to the tune, right?
The negativism omitting out of you are quiet amusing.

Do you know Bangladesh Railway workshop used to make coaches locally til early 90's? Though none of those were very fancy,but they still made something for themselves.Then democrazy happened. There is a plan to make coaches locally. A factory is being built under foreign loan, when that completes Railway Workshop Syedpur will start to make coaches once again.

No people takes birth as failure. It's lack of proper training, chance & patronising that fails them. Keep that in mind.

What a dumb style of talking things! You are already born, so why do not you guys do it as the Japanese do? Build your own coaches. Yes, and let the world know that you are already born. Who stops you from becoming even a teacher to the Japanese?

It is because of this high nose attitudes by guys like you that BD people cannot learn from others' experience. They are taught that they are already at the top of progress, technology and efficiency. Do you have any idea of efficiency?

Do not please compare with Japan and Japanese people. You just do not have any clue about their society, they will produce 20 coaches by the time Saidpur will produce half a coach. Japanese are efficient because they learned it from the European countries.

If you do not like my statement who stops you from building better things than the Japanese and Germans. You guys were born out of mothers' womb like them, why can not you do the similar things and why BD is at the bottom rung among all the countries?

That's also my point.For a country like India with 1.3 billion people, building 8 metro so far with 10-15 km average length(except Delhi) is not worth of bragging.

And what's the route length of your much vaunted Dhaka metro project ? 22 km, that too for 18 million Dhakaites. So much for bragging

22 km only for starter.Dhaka metro length will cross 150 km by 2035.And Dhaka's initiation is much better than Mumbai, which still have only 11 km track.

But Kochi metro is just fine for a city of one million people.Do you live in Kochi?
