Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has ordered necessary action against unauthorized double-decker sleeper buses operating in the capital. At a Saturday meeting chaired by the prime minister at his Tejgaon office, authorities also adopted measures aimed at easing severe congestion, modernizing traffic management and restoring order in public transport.

The decisions include introducing Electronic Toll Collection at expressway and flyover toll plazas, supported by an app to be developed within four months. BUET was asked to review its earlier report on congestion around the Jatrabari-Gulistan flyover and submit a new report with recommendations within 15 days. City corporations and traffic police will coordinate implementation.

The Flowerbari bus terminal will be relocated to Keraniganj after land acquisition through the Local Government Ministry. An interim terminal will be built on 15 acres at the Jhilimili project within four months, while Gabtali terminal will be expanded. The Karwan Bazar kitchen market is to move to Gabtali, and parking options around the Secretariat, including at Osmani Memorial Hall, will be examined.
