Bus schedule a complete chaos at Gabtoli
With heavy traffic on the highways and rush of people going home for Eid, the bus schedule at Gabtoli was in total chaos today putting commuters in sufferings.
Passengers said they have been waiting for hours for buses to arrive and put blames on bus owners for failing to ensure a journey on scheduled time.
“We arrived here (Gabtoli) at 7:00am to catch our bus at 8:00am,” Md Habibur Rahman, who was waiting for over five hours, told The Daily Star around 12:30pm. “We are still waiting for the bus.”
Abu Taher, who is going home this Eid, was irritated now that the bus owners changed his bus schedule to 4:00pm, which was originally at 9:00am. He was waiting at the terminal since 8:00am.
“We are very annoyed and troubled at this suffering ahead of Eid. The government and the bus authorities are responsible for our sufferings” said Abu Taher.
Meanwhile, authorities at the terminal said they are not being able to maintain the schedule because of the tailbacks that were caused in Daulatdia-Paturia and Dhaka-Aricha launch terminals.
