Bar on carrying people on motorbikes lifted

Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) today withdrew the ban on the motorcyclists on carrying other persons on their vehicles.

The restriction will take immediate effect, said Director (Enforcement) of BRTA Matiur Rahman.

Earlier on December 29, BRTA imposed the ban for checking criminal activities and ensuring security for people.

The restriction came following recent observation that miscreants, who ride motorcycle as co-rider, carried out sabotage by hurling petrol bombs and blasting crude bombs targeting vehicles and law enforces in the capital and across the country.
