cycling can save dhaka from traffic jam
TRANSCRIPT
My views:
1.Transportation,Energy and environmental benefits2.Economic and fiscal benefits 3.Health benefits4.Urban Design benefits
1.Saves time-for a 10 km distance in
DHAKA it takes around 1 hour and
more ,but though the heavy traffic u can
easily reach the destination by 30
minutes.
2.Less fuel burn-Cycle needs no Fuel.
3.Less carbon emission-No fuel burn, No
carbon
4.No congestion- if people starts
cycling(at least for short distance)
traffic in DHAKA would reduce by at
least 30%.
5.Staying healthy-Regular Cycling saves
people from Obesity, heart disease, and gift
them a fresh mood after a short workout.
6.No Cost-Cycling is a zero cost transport;
can save millions of money every year.
7.Greener and better community-instead of
having a large garage, less trees and narrow
houses we can have larger roads,more trees
and nice houses.If one person in one car only
is stopped number of cars in the community
would decrease.And the community would be
less polluted,greener and smarter.
A Road bike in Dhaka can gain a speed of around 30-35 km per hour
Cycles are available from a range of 5000 tk. to 200,000 tk. in
making lanes for cycles would ensure safety
Every offices, institutions and companies sneed provide parking space for cycles
Government might encourage cycling to reduce jam
Campaigns can be done to spread this idea and save Dhaka.
Government might reduce tax on cycle import to encourage sellers and importers.
