Present Traffic Scenario
Idea of running railways as a social arm of the Railway Network
government rather than as a business
Inadequate government policy - lack of
budgetary provision
Manifested in declining market share,
adverse operating indicator, and reduced
revenue generation.
Contribution to Urban Transport is very small
Abundant supply of
waterways surrounding
Dhaka City

waterways @ US$ 50

Expenditure in Transport Sector
Road development has received the major attention of government.

Consequences of Present Transportation System
Excessive traffic congestion - average speed is 13.6 kmh (2004)
Average cost of transport ranges from about 8% of household income for high
income groups to 17% for low income groups
Potential of Railway is
under utilized
