What are the main reasons behind Dhaka's present traffic mess:
1) Rail lines criss crossing the city, as Tiger Eye pointed out
2) Lack of enough east-west express roads
3) Too many people and vehicles crammed in too small an area...
It could have been worse though if our inter city terminals were not located in the suburbs of Gabtoli/Saidabad....
Many 3rd world cities have a traffic mess because their man bus stations are in the city center, we have a mess inspite of the fact that our bus terminals are far from the city centre
