Dhaka traffic

Will road safety remain a mirage?

We have yet to see the full implementation of the Road Transport Act, 2018, even though five years have passed since its passage in parliament

VIP movements are Dhaka’s undiagnosed illness

If the capital's traffic condition makes you angry, you're normal

Why exactly is Dhaka the slowest city in the world?

It is not enough to plan and build expensive flyovers, expressways, metro rail or BRT.

The expressway’s hope of reducing traffic is not lost yet

While roads are being constructed on top of each other, no new streets are being created.

What do Dhaka and Bangkok have in common?

Unplanned transport infrastructure.

10 Things I Hate About Dhaka

I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Expecting productivity after long commute hours is unreasonable

Even carrying out the simplest task like taking a shower, eating, and forcing yourself to rest feels productive.

Can AI solve the insanity of Dhaka’s traffic?

Before jumping into the realm of artificial intelligence, we should start with some old-fashioned “common sense”

Survival of the Noisiest

Living with Dhaka’s noise pollution is a gruelling endurance test.
