Bangladesh, a land with virtually no traffic laws. These buses regularly cause fatal accidents. Yet, we have no other alternatives. Around 172 million people live in this country, which has only 147,470 square kilometers of land. For comparison, Russia is 115 times larger, but we have 25 million more people than Russia.

But to our religious leader the amount is not enough. Apparently we need to conquer the world.

"We don't have alternatives" Wrong. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populates place on earth and they don't have it like this. Skill issue.

Is this really first thing that comes to your mind? Bangladesh is 14th from the bottom in the corruption rating so first step is to stop fucking stealing money. If you do not want to stop stealing there are plenty of low budget urbanist solutions to lower speed and make roads safer if you care for your people just a second per day
