Beschreibung
Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh which covers 1528 sq. km area of the country. It represents huge population is about 13 million with high growth rate at 4.2% yearly. This large population is creating additional pressure on services including public transport system (Planning Commission, 2011). Dhaka is one of the organically developed cities in the world and urban planning did not receive any good response from public policy level. In Dhaka, both motorized and non-motorised transports ply on the same road, no well organised mass rapid transport system, very weak traffic management system, no parking policy, lack of co-ordination and co-operation among the different government and non government departments for ensuring an efficient public transport system. Traffic congestion has dominant characteristics and well known scenario in Dhaka. There are about 8 organizations which are directly involved for multi-modal public transport system for Dhaka city. This book illustrates the legislative constraints and institutional issues of the multi-modal public transport system of Dhaka City.
