Metro rail

Over the last couple of years, we have been reading and hearing many interesting news on the planning of establishment of metro rail in Dhaka city and the people have been very passionately waiting to commute by the metro rail, which to many of us is a great dream. The metro rail, elevated rail are all excellent ideas and a very ambitious plan but to lessen the heavy traffic rush of the city we need to proceed fast to get rid of traffic mismanagement. It is a huge, large, expensive and highly technical project. However prior to implementation, we need to ensure and assert its durability with efficient management that should be thoroughly reviewed in the best possible ways taking into consideration the impact and implications as well as the hazardous situation the people and the city dwellers would face and suffer for a few years during the early implementation phase.
We hope the government would proceed fast taking into consideration all viable options including cost components, sufferings of people, fare, effectiveness, efficient management, construction and operational modalities before its approval and in no way the project should be stopped at the half way mark.
We are afraid, we don't want to fall into the same trap--the way the Bangladesh railway is operating.
