End extortion in transport sector

The transport sector in Bangladesh has long operated like an independent realm of plunder. Governments change, but the corruption, disorder, and irregularities within this sector remain unchanged. The power may shift hands, but the structure of exploitation does not. Extortion and unfit, dilapidated vehicles continue to operate just as they did before. As a result, whenever there is a change in government, we witness a scramble for control over the transport sector by different factions. This occurred after the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, with opposition parties seizing control of the transport hubs.
