[sustran] Rickshaw-pullers demonstrate on March 28 against the decision to make some city roads off-limits to rickshaws in Dhaka

[Syed Saiful Alam]

What was done instead, despite significant media attention over the 
last few years to the problem of private cars, was to ban rickshaws from

technical understanding of the situation. It allows the government to 
say that it is doing something to improve traffic situation, while only 
making matters worse, because it is politically difficult to put into 
places measures to reduce the vehicle preferred by a tiny portion of the
 wealthy and powerful, ........Syed Saiful Alam
