Amid the blockade enforced by BNP-Jamaat, buses run at a limited scale on different inter-district routes from the capital today, which helps ease the suffering of common people on roads and highways.
Buses left Jatrabari to Shariatpur, Madaripur, Rajbari and Bhanga on Wednesday, transport workers Liton Miah of Jatrabari area told BSS.
Besides, buses run on the Gabtoli to Aricha route defying BNP enforced blockades across the country. There was a movement of public transport on the Dhaka-Cumilla road too. But, there was no bus flying on the Dhaka-Barishal route for lack of passengers as the people prepared waterways to travel by launches during the blockade.
General Secretary of Bangladesh Road Transport Workers Federation Osman Ali said there was usual bus movement on Sayedabad-Narsingdi road, while buses of Ena Paribahan, Shawkhin and Imam Paribahan left Moakhali Bus Terminal for Mymensingh and Sylhet.
