In Fulbaria upazila headquarters of Mymensingh, buses and other vehicles are being parked on the main road because there is no permanent bus terminal. Bus and CNG-run auto-rickshaw stations sit within about 500 metres of the busy road between the Upazila Parishad and Valukjan Bridge. Roadside stations and parked vehicles are causing severe difficulties for pedestrians and commuters, persistent congestion, and occasional accidents.

Buses arriving in Fulbaria from Dhaka drop passengers on the road, then remain there for parking and cleaning. Alam Asia Transport has 110 buses, while the 15 decimals of land it rents for a terminal can hold a maximum of eight buses. The Mymensingh District Motor Owners Association bought 13 decimals beside the main road for a local bus station in 1968 and 1972, but the site is now reportedly largely encroached upon.

Transport owners said they would remove buses from the road if designated land were provided. Workers’ union president Babul Shikdar cited internal disputes among owners as a major reason for the absence of a terminal. Municipal administrator Sheikh Taki Tajwar said financial constraints and lack of land have delayed the plan, while Alam Asia chairman Shahjahan sought government attention.
