The dedicated service lanes and bus bay or bus stop projects amounted to around Tk 700 crore, and the construction work at various bus stands and market locations from Gabtoli to Paturia Ghat is near completion. However, most bus stops and market areas along the Dhaka-Nabinagar route do not use these separate lanes for the stoppage. As a result, the highway is completely packed all the time.

Why aren't these lanes being used by bus drivers? Before the lanes were introduced, did the bus drivers and helpers receive any training on how to use those? Who is to blame for the people's unspeakable suffering?

The Daily Star Senior Reporter Tuhin Shubhra Adhikary joins Ahsan Habib to discuss the current situation of the Dhaka-Nabinagar highway.
