The institute’s Director Prof Dr Moazzem Hossain said Bangladesh could have saved Tk 220 billion if it had reduced 60 percent of congestion in Dhaka. “This is leading to the waste of five million work hours. Traffic congestion is causing a loss of Tk 370 billion a year,” he said. There will be no harm if Bangladesh can earn Tk 50 billion by giving Tk 10 billion in subsidiary, he said. He recommended building parking towers at key points in Dhaka to ease traffic congestion.
