Anything is easier said than done

---

PEOPLE of Rajshahi are still paying Tk 300 bus fare for the Rajshahi-Dhaka trip. But they expected reduced bus fare soon after the newly elected government took over. The government is already about two month's old. People should get benefit not only from reduced bus fare but also from other areas. How long do we have to wait to get the desired benefits? For example, Wheel soap was Tk 8.0 during the last elected government and now it is Tk 16 -- just double -- and the people are gradually getting fed up with the existing government.

Rajshahi to Dhaka train fare is Tk 165. As bus fare is too much compared to train fare, a lot of people travel by train. Train journey is more convenient and safer than travel by any other mode of transport. But in the queue, we do not get tickets with seat reservation though sometimes they are sold at a higher price later. I know it is happening everyday as I have to travel to Dhaka frequently by train. It did not happen during the caretaker government.

I urge the government to expand the train service. Let Silkcity-Provaty start at 6:00am from Rajshahi and Silkcity-Godhuly start from Dhaka at 6:00pm for Rajshahi.
