Road is not a private property
Road is not a private property. There are no rules and regulations regarding entrance of private car in Dhaka city; any body who has money can purchase a car and start riding taking just a license. According to urban planners, there should have at least 25% area for roads in a city, and there is only 6-7% area for roads in Dhaka city. Every day there are new cars entering in the city street making huge jam and increasing sufferings for the mass people to reach the office/factory at just time and also to return home peacefully after finishing the task and duties. And everyday we are loosing 3-4 hours of our valuable time causing thousands of corers of taka
According to study of transport planners, a private care occupies the road where five people can travel by bi-cycle, four people by rickshaw, and only nd half people by private car.
Using natural gas and fuel for private car is a crime as it increases global warming.
Almost there is a relation between ownership of private car and corruption. It is a shame that our previous governments exempted tax to import luxury cars.
Transportation is a big punishment for innocent employees, workers and petty traders.
It's a social problem and solution should be collective and social, not individual.
Government is providing 3000 crore taka as subsidy for petrol/fuel supply and the private car owners are taking advantage of it. They are also using important CNG; which could be used for industrial purpose and public transport. These private car owners are contributing noise and pollution to urban life.
Without controlling private car, it is not possible to reduce traffic jam through constructing new roads or modernizing traffic system. London, Singapore, Hon Kong and Tokyo city reduced traffic jam through controlling private car.
Please raise your voice and make solidarity with the following demands through circulating this mail to your friends:
§ Stopping subsidized fuel and gas to private car owners
§ There should have at least one lac taka environment tax on a private car and gradually making Dhaka city free of private car
§ There should have government policy about the car of organization/institution i.e who can purchase car, but organization/institute should be under the environment tax net
§ Introducing more double decker bus at every route
§ Separate track for bi-cycle in every road
§ Encourage riding bi-cycle for all students of school, college and university, teachers and parents should come forward
§ Government should establish quality cycle industry in Bangladesh and discourage importing bi-cycle
