There are so so much to do, atleast they could start from somewhere.

OK. How about from Mohakhali to Gulshan 1? I was generally speaking with no specific place in mind.

The STP is on the verge on being approved,hopefully it'll be a big step towards Dhaka's transformation to a true modern urban hub.

Ministry approves STP to upgrade traffic systems |

| Dhaka, Jan 14 (bdnews24.com)--The communications ministry Monday provisionally approved the Strategic Transport Plan, which is expected to improve the transportation network in the capital and its outskirts and install an underground railway system.
"In the next seven days, the STP will be sent to the council of advisers for final approval. Once approved, the government will take an initiative to implement the plan," communications adviser Ghulam Quader told reporters after a meeting in his office.
"The STP will need two years to be implemented and will cost five billion dollars," he said.
The World Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency and other organisations have agreed to finance the project, the adviser said.
Quader also said a decision has been taken to create 50 new roads through the capital and a circular road around the city and to introduce a uniform ticket system for public transport.
The adviser said that to install a subway rail system between Dhaka and its outskirts, about 17,000 sq km of railway has to be laid, which will take about 12 years.
Once the implementation is underway many roads may be closed due to construction.
"This will cause traffic jams�but the plan includes measures to address this. In some places flyovers will be built to ease the gridlock."
Quader also said that the STP includes steps to clear the traffic jams created due to rail crossings within the city.
Additional executive director of the Dhaka Transportation Coordination Board SM Salahuddin, who attended the meeting, said: "The current transport system of the city is in a North-South orientation."
"That's why plans have been taken to build 50 more roads in an East-West direction."
He believes that the realisation of the Strategic Transport Plan will transform Dhaka into a modern city.

না ভাই,দিন এখনো বদলায় নাই। রাস্তা ঘাটে হাটতে এখনো মজা আছে। আর ছিনতাইকারীরাও এখন চাল্লু হয়ে গেছে,সিএনজি ট্যাক্সি ক্যাব এর যাত্রী ছাড়া ছিনতাই করতে চায় না।
ঢাকায় হাটলে আসলেই সময় অনেক কম লাগে। আজিমপুর থেকে আমি গুলশান এ হেটে গেছি ৪৫ মিনিটে, বাস এ গেছি সর্বনিন্ম ১৫ মিনিটে,সকাল ৬ টায় আর সাধারণত লাগে ১ ঘন্টা,জ্যাম থাকলে দুই আড়াই ঘন্টাও লাগে।
নিউমার্কেট থেকে শ্যামলি হাটতে লাগে ৫০ মিনিট,শ্যামলি থেকে গাবতলি ৪৫ মিনিট।গুলিস্তান থেকে মতিঝিল ২০ মিনিট আর ফার্মগেট থেকে শাহবাগ লাগে ২০ মিনিট। একবার মহাখালি থেকে উত্তরা পর্যন্ত যেতে কত সময় লাগে দেখার ইচছা আছে, সময় পেলে জানাবো।
তবে ঢাকায় হাটার আসল মজা পুরান ঢাকায়। রিকশা আর মানুষের স্রোতে হাটার মজাই অন্যরকম।
