Bangladesh’s transportation system includes roads, railways, waterways, and airways, serving a growing population and economy. However, traffic congestion, poor road conditions, outdated railway infrastructure, and limited public transport options create major challenges. Urban areas, especially Dhaka and Chattogram, suffer from severe gridlocks, increasing travel time and fuel consumption. Inadequate maintenance and inefficient traffic management further worsen the situation.
Solutions
To improve transportation, Bangladesh must expand and modernize roads, railways, and public transit. Investing in metro rail, bus rapid transit (BRT), and smart traffic management can reduce congestion. Encouraging waterway transport and improving railway efficiency can ease road dependency. Sustainable solutions like electric buses, better road planning, and enforcing traffic laws will enhance mobility and reduce pollution.
