The Barishal City Corporation (BCC) has decided to maintain the previously set fares for three-wheelers operating within the city. The decision was made on Monday during a coordination meeting held at the city corporation office, chaired by BCC Administrator Advocate Bilkis Akter Jahan Shirin. Officials from the divisional and district administrations were present. The meeting also resolved to take strict legal action against unlicensed or non-renewed three-wheelers through joint drives.
The move follows widespread protests by students and passengers against excessive fare collection by three-wheeler and yellow auto-rickshaw drivers. Reports indicated that fares had nearly doubled on several city routes, prompting students to detain over a hundred vehicles near BM College. Despite earlier complaints and a memorandum submitted to the BCC, no action had been taken until the protests escalated.
During the emergency meeting, participants emphasized restoring order in the city’s transport sector through coordinated efforts. The BCC pledged to ensure compliance with licensing regulations and maintain passenger welfare by keeping fares unchanged.
