Buses being the only mode of mass transit available in Dhaka, they carry about 1.9 million passengers per day. The number of privately owned cars is increasing day by day because of under develop public transport system and lack of door to door services within public transport network. For achieving sustainable urban transport in Dhaka. They also suggested the Strategic transport Plan (STP) that the develop of six major corridors as mass transit routes including three BRT corridors. Alam, M.J.B, and Habib, K.M.N (2003).Effects of alternative transportation options on congestion and air pollution in Dhaka city.Journal of civil Engineering, CE 31, 2. Transportation serves a huge portion of a country economic development. Transportation development requires a large amount of resources and time and it is a type of cost that irreversible. To optimize future needs detailed planning is needed for any sort of development. There are also some alternatives to improve traffic congestion and air pollution.

A huge development of transportation system in Dhaka city is needed because about 12 million of middle and lower-middle class people are living here. There are eight factors highlighted to be focused to resolve the city’s transport issues. Passenger satisfaction, stuff behavior, number of buses changed to reach destination, supervision, and waiting facility these are the points of that eight factor. Khan, S.M. and Hoque, M.S (2013). Traffic Flow Interruptions in Dhaka City: Is Smooth Traffic Flow Possible? Journal of PU, 2, 46-54. Weak infrastructure has provoked the heterogeneous mixing of vehicle along with non-lane based movement and no access control. Taking advantage of existing poor monitoring system, number of non-registered and road unworthy vehicles is on a rise. Due to lack of proper implementation of transport planning and effective management there are a large number of vehicles remains motionless for hours. Labib, S.M, Mohiuddin, H. and Shakil, S.H. (2013).Transport Sustainability of Dhaka: A measure of ecological footprint and means for sustainable transportation system. Journal of Bangladesh Institute of Planners. 6, 137147 Daily an enormous CO2 emission from a large number of vehicles travel in Dhaka city which is seventy times more compared to bio-capacity of this city. It is near to impossible to acquire sustainability of transportation system unless considering ecological balance; transport demand management (TDM), Low carbon transports, transit oriented development (TOD), and creation of green corridors.
