Dhaka v/s Kolkata

[LaBong]

Labong da,

Rickshaws are eco friendly transport. Dhaka without rickshaw is unimaginable but the main roads will be completely rickshaw free gradually. There are many roads which are currently rickshaw free.

Metro will take some time. Its a very long project. Will take 2020 may be to have a metro but metro is not everything. BRT will be there in two years.

You should not generalize on hospital. Apollo Hospital, Square hospital etc are intl standard hospitals but some Bangladeshis like to avoid anything 'Deshi'so they go for Singapore mount Elizabeth hospital for simple check up also. Most are the politians and industrialists who go there.

Some doctors are very good. Even many foreign patients come to Harun Eye Hospital or OSB hospital for lasik surgery. I petsonally know a guy who said when he went to OSB he talked with an Indian patient wanted to be pilot who was referred here by some Indian doctors to get lasik at OSB.

So these only cater to 0.1 percent elite, not the middle class and lower middle class.

Rickshaws are eco friendly but so are bullock cart! The fact is Rickshaws are major reason behind Dhaka abysmal traffic situation.

Kolkata Airport:

OMG! the airport looks awesome. Dhaka airport looks quite ugly. I don't get why they don't renovate it.

Is it newly inaugurated Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport?

No, it is the new international terminal of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. Kazi Nazrul Islam International Airport is in Durgapur near Andal. It is not complete yet, it will be an aerotropolis. I am posting some artist's impression of Kazi Nazrul Islam International Airport and aerotropolis just to give you an idea.

Aerial view of Dhaka is way better than Kolkata. Dhaka looks quite green which is definitely a positive...Kolkata looks way too over-congested in my opinion.

I also really like the way the Parliament building has been built in Dhaka...

I appreciate the pictures from both sides and the fact that this thread has been kept clean and civil.
Please continue posting pictures from both cities.
