Costly bus service in Gulshan
I am a retired person. I used to travel from Gulshan-1 to Gulshan-2 and vice versa by paying a bus fare of only Taka 5 each time. After the Holey Artisan tragedy, all public bus services were closed in that area as security measure, ignoring the inconvenience of the poor commuters. Now, air conditioned bus services has been started in Gulshan which charge Taka 15 for travel from Gulshan-1 to Gulshan-
2. I personally think that this new expensive bus service is a kind of exploitation of the situation at the cost of the poor. Before, hundreds of buses used to ply through Gulshan for the convenience of the commuters with lesser income. I don't understand in what way the previous bus services were a security threat. You can't cut the head for the cure of a headache.
