Sayedabad bus terminal stays less busy

Dhaka’s Sayedabad bus terminal was unusually less busy on Sunday (May 1), despite Eid-ul-Fitr being just a day away.

Along with train and launch routes, there is always an overflowing crowd of holidaymakers at Dhaka’s Sayedabad bus terminal every Eid. But, the scenario is the opposite in Sayedabad this time.

Manik, supervisor of Seba Super Bus service said, we can't get passengers even for Tk250 whereas, the regular fare in the route is Tk300.

Md Jewel, a worker of CDM Travels said, we are offering Tk400 for Chattogram bound passengers which is less than the regular fare. But, there is no passengers here.

Karim Ullah, a Cumilla-bound passenger said, after many years, I am going home without much trouble. Even, the bus fare is not during this Eid journey.

A total of 30 policemen are seen working in Sayedabad bus terminal to ensure security ahead of Eid-ul-fitr.

ASI Niza Uddin said, the overall situation is better now. Law enforcers are patrolling the whole area to avoid any kind of untoward situations. However, the number of bus passengers is few today.
