摘要:Dhaka is one of the biggest and overpopulated cities in the world. Overcrowd is seen in most of the places. The people are to travel many places in the city for various purposes. Most of the people rely on public transport to travel in the city. Public transport is overcrowded also. Bus is the main public transport in Dhaka city. Most of the passengers are to reach their destination timely. So, they try to get into the buses at any cost. But the number of buses is low compared to the number of passengers. There is the demand-supply gape. Problems begin from here. The passengers are to compete with each other to get into the buses. Old people and women are to suffer a lot. Moreover, the passengers who get the opportunity to get into the buses face many other types of problems. This study explores that transport services in Dhaka city are congested, insecured and unreliable. The current transportation environment in Dhaka city is not passenger friendly at all. Government’s initiative, passenger friendly attitude of bus owners and staffs and passengers’ attachment to morality can solve most of the problems.
