Hi All...
Motorcycles have become the most popular means of transport in Dhaka. And this popularity has basically come from the hands of various ride sharing apps.
According to the latest estimates of the Bangladesh Road Communications Authority, the total number of registered bikes in Dhaka is 5 lakh 65 thousand 490.
The total number of registered motorcycles in Dhaka in September this year is about 63 thousand.
Why are motorcycles popular?
The app-based motorcycle ride service has become increasingly popular, mainly due to the discounted benefits of fast travel at low cost.
Photographer Adnan Adid often has to travel to different parts of Dhaka for his work. He relies entirely on this motorbike for this journey.
"If you have an emergency assignment, you can get there by bike in the shortest time. The apps I use have a discount on one or the other. Then the fare is much lower. Can't run. "
Moreover, these ride transport services have added some safety features to the safety of the passengers and women are also getting interested in motorcycle rides.
These safety features include GPS tracking with detailed information about drivers and vehicles, two-way feedback and trip details sharing.
Besides, Marphia Haider, an employee of a non-government organization in Dhaka, said that she would take this motorcycle ride as there was no problem in finding a car or bargaining for rent.
Income opportunities:
These motorcycles have become a source of income for many young people as well as ensuring fast transportation in traffic jams.
While working in a private company, Dewan Shaon provides this ride service on the way to and from the office almost every day.
On the one hand, as the cost of maintaining his bike goes up, so does his out-of-pocket service on a few hours of leisure on holidays.
Thanks for come to my blog.
