Suggestions for Improving Transport in Dhaka
1. Maintain the use of rickshaws by
a) Canceling all planned bans on rickshaws from different roads;
b) Creating rickshaw-only lanes on major streets (including those
that currently ban rickshaws), and
c) Considering a gradual shift to improved rickshaws that are easier
to maneuver and more comfortable for passengers. If the rickshaw
licensing system is to be maintained, set a higher level for the
number of rickshaws, and base it on research into which all citizens
can have input.
2. Cancel all plans for future flyovers, and use transportation
budgets to improve public transit and conditions for NMT.
3. Make cars less affordable and available through reducing import
of cars, raising registration fees and taxes, and restricting
licenses.
4. Ban cars from small streets and lanes and from congested areas,
and greatly reduce parking. Enforce a ban on parking on footpaths
and on major streets.
5. Make cycling more safe and attractive by providing separate
bicycle lanes on all major roads (creating a continuous cycle lane
throughout the city) and by giving bicycles priority at traffic
signals so they aren't in danger by motorized vehicles.
6. Make cycling more affordable by greatly reducing the tariff on
imported bicycles.
7. Create more places to park bicycles.
8. Increase bus use by creating special lanes for buses on major
streets, banning all motorized vehicles except buses and emergency
vehicles in congested areas, and considering other benefits to buses.
9. Ensure conducive environment for walking by a) creating
pedestrian-only zones in the central shopping and business
districts, b) reducing motorized transport (Pedestrians will
naturally walk farther when the streets are quieter), c) cleaning up
footpaths from construction debris and car parking (vendors actually
attract Pedestrians, and should be allowed to stay, though not to
block entire footpaths), and d) making footpaths more comfortable by
planting more trees along them.
10. Carry out public education campaigns through the mass media and
other means (e.g. through leaflets given to school children) to
encourage parents to walk or cycle rather than drive their children
to school, and to consider more environmentally-
means of transport, e.g. public transit and walking/cycling rather
than cars/auto-rickshaws
11. Support community programs to convert underutilized streets into
children's playgrounds for a couple hours each day, thereby making
better use of roads in quieter neighborhoods, and allowing children
play space, as is currently happening in various areas as a citizen
initiative.
