Abstract

Every developed country has a proper buss management system to run the transport system properly. However, the buss management system is not maintained properly in Bangladesh. The primary objective of this research was to Analyze the buss management system of Dhaka city – the capital of Bangladesh. In this research work, questionnaires for both passengers and drivers were developed. There were 14 questions in the passenger’s questionnaire and 10 questions in the driver’s questionnaire. Interviews of total 385 passengers and 167 drivers were conducted using a paper based questionnaire survey. The results revealed the problems the passengers as well as the drivers face daily while making bus travel in Dhaka city. Suggestions for improving the bus transport system are also taken from the passengers and drivers. The reasons of past accidents experienced are also noted down from the passengers and drivers from their own experiences. The passengers also rated the drivers and conductors on some categorical behaviors. The special services provided by the bus companies are also identified in the survey. Basically, the researchers tried to know the opinion of people about the bus management system and also tried to find out important suggestions from the drivers and passengers to have a more advanced and effective bus management system. The study results conclude that the bus management system should be significantly changed and also a proper training system should be arranged for the drivers to follow the traffic rules. The outcomes of this study should be very useful for the road transport agencies of Bangladesh, which are working to improve the bus management system for the sake of better traffic safety and management in Dhaka as well as across the country
