Traffic in Dhaka

     The traffic jams in Dhaka have become unbelievable nowadays.The country's capital is a big mess.There is na sign of the authorities' willingness to discharge its responsibility. Available roads and the number of vehicles are totally disproportionate.The ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road makes life more miserable for the citizens of the overcrowded city.Millions of work hours are list on the road.How can the  people of Dhaka get out of this painful situation? There is no simple solution.
      I think the government should encourage more public transportation and discourage private vehicles.Like all other big cities,the morning rush hour goes on from 7:00 am to 10.00 am.In these three hours the left lane of all main roads should be reserved for public buses only.All other buses and private vehicles should use the other lanes .It can be the same evening rush hours.
      People should be encouraged to take public buses and leave behind their vehicles at home.Public buses should follow a strict schedule with discipline.During the rush hours,every two minutes or five minutes (depends from where) there should be frequent bus services so that passengers can travel comfortably instead of owners and their employees by treating them fairly in a public-private partnership.
