Maddening traffic jams

The price tag is rather high when people have to spend hours on the road in sweltering heat from traffic jams. The resulting misery generated by the high heat and humidity takes its toll on human health, and slows down the average productivity of office workers in Dhaka. But then who cares about the productivity enhancement of our people?
The traffic problem of Dhaka is therefore hindering both the growth of the megalopolis and Bangladesh. It is stodgily slow, erratic and unpredictable, expressly for reasons of bad traffic policing. How can a would-be-investor think that productive work could be generated in this chaotic nation?
