But on another note:
Laying down this commuter rail, signal stations, street crossings, stations will have a logistic hardship for Dhaka, the crowd and the admins. You will have to acquire people's land, a lot of land for this. Displace people, bastuhara, slums etc. If not, more (whatever little bit empty, green (or bare) space we have left in the greater Dhaka area) land will be occupied.
Traffic will become MORE hectic.
Expect larger and longer jam.
Have to watch out for Hartal bhangchur, vandalism (as we tend to have zero respect for public properties),
crime in and around this infrastructure,
Mastaani,
Pocket-mars,
black-market tickets,
Jalau-porau kormo-shuchi,
graffiti (not creative, just emook bhaikey vote diin, tomuk chachar mookti chai),
Aloo-jhaal-moori walas, Tengra Maach bikretas,
Tender-baji,
Corruption at the rail, ordering el-cheapo old engine and new bogi tarin cars from vietnaam,
higher ratio of balu (sand) in concrete
Regular Attohotta, self-beheading...
Dhakka maria manush-key rail-er nichey cholonto trainer nichey faliey hotta,
Train signal fail korey, Rikshaw signal na meney train-er nichey porey shishu nidhon - 20 minutes later train-e agun by khepa otherwise bekaar/uttejito public
Train-er shobdey manusher kaan oshthagoto
First 6 months beautiful, like Shishu Park 1980, on the 7th month train has turned into free open public toilet, oshoijjo urine/ammonia gondho
On the 7th months train cars have no batti (lights) - sob shuri koira niya Dhoaikhaaley bikroi
on the 10th month all the Janala dorja (windows/doors) gone....
one year later, no more seats left, only random metal frames visible.
Chaar-poka, Uloo, Rats upodrop
14 months later...
2 years later...
BUT, if successfully executed, it could be a very good thing for the city of Dhaka and her people. Could help reduce pollution a bit too, by reducing cars, buses after introducing the commuter rail system.
