Meters in Mishuk a must!


Why are meters now required in every individual form of motorised public transport in Dhaka City--but are not required in the Mishuks? Over the same distance, a wild, bumpy, and back-breaking ride in a mishuk is often more costly than a smooth CNG ride, and even sometimes rivals the cost of riding in an AC yellow taxi! And Mishuks are even lacking in such things as shock absorbers. It is high time that meters are required for Mishuks. I propose a daylong countrywide hartal to press forward my one-point demand.
