[chottala.com] Wrong-minded modernization: rickshaw bans

Wrong-minded modernization: rickshaw bans



A new wave of rickshaw bans has just occurred in Dhaka. How appropriate were those bans? How sound are the arguments against rickshaws?

The rickshaw has for decades been attacked by the media and others in Bangladesh as being slow, causing traffic jams and thus congestion, being an inhuman occupation for the pullers, and holding Dhaka back from modernization. Just how true are those claims?

First, does the experience with rickshaw bans to date suggest that such bans effectively reduce traffic congestion? On the contrary; even government reports show that rickshaw bans do nothing to improve traffic, and sometimes traffic speed even further deteriorates following rickshaw bans. In addition, people's travel cost as well as time increase. Are VIP roads free of traffic congestion? Will the government blame rickshaws for congestion until there are no rickshaws left, and then what will they blame? Cities around the world with no rickshaws waste millions of dollars in lost time and wasted fuel due to traffic jams caused entirely by cars. Why are we so eager to join them?

Are rickshaws slow? Government reports indicate that in many cases, it is faster to walk than to take a bus. Average car speed in many Asian cities is no greater than the speed of a rickshaw. The fact that cars can on empty streets move faster than rickshaw is meaningless in Dhaka traffic situations, except in the danger it implies: when cars race on empty roads, they regularly kill pedestrians. How many fatal accidents are caused by rickshaws? Meanwhile, congestion makes cars slow; too many cars cause congestion. Rickshaws not only do not kill pedestrians, but they play a very important role in reducing pollution, as they themselves are completely emission-free vehicles, even when stuck in traffic.

It is not just the (potential) speed of a vehicle that matters; vehicles also take up space when parked. Cars are typically parked for most of the day, so the road or other valuable urban space they occupy is the space not only on the streets when moving but space for parking space. Imagine taking a series of short trips around Dhaka by car: everywhere you go, you must park the car somewhere. Although many apartment units now have car parking, they do not allow visitors to use the spaces, even if the lot is empty. So parked cars clutter the streets. As an alternative, we could work on turning our city into a series of high-rise parking lots (as Bangkok has done, much to the detriment of its liveability), or we could maintain a city with many urban amenities by reducing car parking and making conditions good for taking short trips by rickshaw, which require little space when parked and in any case spend most of the day carrying people about.

How inhuman is the business of pedaling a rickshaw? It might not be a profession most of you reading this article would like to have, but neither is it likely you would wish to spend hours a day standing in water, bent at the waist, transplanting rice. The measure of whether a profession is inhuman is not whether or not we are willing to engage in it, but rather what those working in it feel about it and what their alternatives are. Rickshaw pulling is a huge source of needed jobs; the pullers themselves clearly prefer it to begging or starving. Further, unlike many other professions, it is fairly well-paid, involves a good deal of independence, and gives the pullers a chance to choose their hours and to rest when they wish. It is thus far less inhuman than many other professions. What is inhuman is denying people the right to earn a living.

How well can we manage without the rickshaw in Dhaka? It is important to remember that many trips taken are short. Does it make sense to wait 10-20 minutes for a bus in order to travel 3 kilometres? What if you have many destinations: say a woman taking her child to school, going to a shop, visiting a relative, going home, then going back to pick up her child? If she had to buy separate bus tickets for each trip segment, the expense would be exorbitant. No wonder 41% of trips to take children to school occur by rickshaw; it is a safe, convenient, and affordable form of door-to-door transport.

As for walking as an alternative, we are all for it: but first there needs to be a better environment for walking. The problems faced by those on foot in Dhaka are numerous: footpaths in bad condition, often occupied by parked cars, and used at times by motorbikes; lack of safe street crossings; bad smells due to the lack of public toilets; lack of safety at night; and the exposure to continual fumes and noise from the traffic on the streets. Rickshaws provide a fairly pleasant alternative to the dismal business of walking in Dhaka; it is unfair to the middle class to take away that option in the assumption that they should either buy a car or suffer on buses, which themselves involve a number of obstacles to comfortable travel and of course only operate on certain routes, causing problems for those traveling with children, carrying heavy items, and so on.

Speaking of the popularity of rickshaws, it is helpful to compare the percentage of trips that occur by rickshaw versus car. No measures have been taken to ban cars from narrow lanes, despite the obvious fact that cars create congestion in the lanes, blocking the easy movement of hundreds of people traveling by rickshaw. Far from it: the building code is insisting on the provision of ever more car parking, providing incentive for ever more cars, even on narrow streets. But how popular is the car versus the rickshaw?

According to the latest government figures, for overall trips in the Dhaka Metropolitan Area and Dhaka City Corporation, 4-5% are made by car versus 29-39% by rickshaw. While men make 32% of their trips by car, that figure is 47.4% for women. As mentioned, 41% of trips to school occur by rickshaw; only 4% are taken by car (yet cars already create hideous congestion around schools and during the times when children go to and from school). While car use is far higher among the wealthy (here defined as those earning over 50,000 taka per month), at 18% of trips, that figure is still dwarfed by rickshaw trips: 35% of trips taken by the wealthy are by rickshaw. That is, rickshaws account for twice the number of trips as cars even among the wealthier, and up to ten times as many trips overall. If it is so important to ban vehicles due to the congestion they create, why on earth is it the rickshaw that is being banned?

Finally, are rickshaws an antiquated vehicle that should be relegated to the past, or instead a glowing emblem of modernity? The most modern, attractive, liveable cities are mostly in western Europe. A significant portion of trips in those cities – say, 30-50% or more – occurs by bicycle. European cities, as well as growing numbers of cities in Australia and North America, promote the bicycle in order to reduce traffic congestion, fumes, noise, and travel expense, and to increase the attractiveness and liveability of cities.

What after all is a rickshaw but a three-wheeled bicycle (imagine trying to cycle through Dhaka...no wonder people prefer rickshaws!). Given the related catastrophes of climate change, peak oil, obesity, and lack of physical activity, governments around the world are trying to get people out of their cars. It is the low-income cities of the world that are heading in the opposite direction, laying out the red carpet for cars while making life difficult and unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. Why are policymakers in Dhaka insistent on making things worse for the city rather than better? If we really want to reduce traffic congestion, we must do what city after city around the world has been forced to do: actively work to reduce travel by car and increase travel by other means.

Years ago, an international transport expert referred to Dhaka's modal share as "enviable": few cars and many rickshaws. Rather than appreciate what we had and work to make things even better, we are instead working to increase traffic congestion, noise, fumes, and expense, and to make moving about the city more difficult for the non-car-owning majority.

It is also interesting to note that the latest rickshaw bans occurred after government decisions to limit car use through a variety of measures. To the best of our knowledge, none of those measures have been implemented to date, while other measures to encourage car use continue. What was done instead, despite significant media attention over the last few years to the problem of private cars, was to ban rickshaws from various streets. Clearly the decision was based on prejudice, not any technical understanding of the situation. It allows the government to say that it is doing something to improve traffic, while only making matters worse, because politically it is difficult to put into places measures to reduce the vehicle preferred by a tiny portion of the most wealthy and powerful.

But it is wrong to believe that only rickshaw pullers are upset by the bans. Dhaka residents have long suffered for the various bans that have been put into place over the years: witness the long lines of people attempting to go to and from New Market by rickshaw, or the anger of women in focus groups discussing the rickshaw bans on Mirpur Road. Of course people want safe, convenient, comfortable transport. People also vote. It is not wise to anger the masses through such wrong-minded decisions.

It is time to raise our voices in support of smart traffic planning: to ensure that all people, not just those with a car, can move about safely and conveniently; that non-polluting modes are given priority; and that international experience in addressing traffic congestion is put to good use here. It is time to say no to further rickshaw bans, to overturn the recent ones, and to work together to make Dhaka a city in which people can move about safely, comfortably, and conveniently on foot, on 2- and 3-wheeled bicycles (rickshaws), and on public transport. We would all benefit from the improved air quality, safety, and convenience.

Khaleda Zia's ensuing visit to India- what should be the Agenda?

Major Faruk Ahmed (Retd)

Visiting a neighbouring country by the opposition alliance leader naturally draws attention of many specially when the destination country is a hegemonic country like India.

International relation between two countries is determined by the regimes in power of those countries. Opposion party may have issues of concern but that cannot allow the destination country's govt to enter into any treaty with the opposition party leader of any country. If that is the case, such visit may not be viewed as solution to the existing bilateral problems/issues between Bangladesh and India. In spite of all these, such visit may help in understanding each other's viewpoint.

Ties between Awami League and India is known to all.  Present Hasina govt is fulfilling all the desires  of India. As such, Delli's south block and intellectuals suggest Indian govt to do everything to maintain Hasina regime in Dhaka.
 
India's desires and wants from Bangladesh:
   
a. Use of Bangladesh territory as corridor.
b. Using Bangladesh to suppress the movement of Indian NE states.
c. Bangladesh to serve as India's economic colony.
d. Maintaining chosen party in power of Bangladesh to serve India's interests.
e. Control foreign policy of Bangladesh.
f. Domination on Bangladesh Army.
g. Domination on Bangladesh intelligence agencies.
h. Control and domination on border.
i. Control water flow of all international rivers entering Bangladesh.
j. Maintaining a loyal intellectual group in Dhaka and abroad.
k. Maintaining armed insurgency in CHTs (Chittagong Hill Tracts) of Bangladesh.
l. Cultural domination on Bangladesh.
m. Divert the route of Asian High Way as follows: 'India-Bangladesh-Indian NE states' instead of 'India-Bangladesh-Mayanmar'.
n. Occupying bordering lands and claiming sea areas limiting maritime boundary of Bangladesh.
o. Breaking Bangladeshi Nation's will to protect national independence, security and sovereignty.
p. Reducing Bangladesh to the status of Bhutan and making it unviable to survive and ultimately leading to Sikimization.

Examples of India's hostile behaviour against Bangladesh
   
a. India has hijacked the victory of newborn Bangladesh's Independence War.
b. India has taken away assets of Bangladesh.
c. India is depriving Bangladesh from due share of 54 international river waters.
d. India has instigated, trained, armed, and sheltered Chakma terrorists named Shanti Bahini of CHTs and allowed Indian soil to be used against Bangladesh.
e. India has raided on Padua BDR BOP (Border Observation Post) of Bangladesh.
f. India put barriers on BD's export and maintains a trade gap of 4.2 billion USD.
g. India allows smuggle of drugs and illegal arms through the border.
h. Indian BSF has killed more than 1000 Bangladeshi citizens at border areas.
i. India is sheltering separatist organization- Bangabhumi Andolon.
j. India is conducting hostile propaganda against Bangladesh.
k. India has occupied Talpotti Island of Bangladesh.
l. India has plotted assassination of Bangladhesh's President - Ziaur Rahman.
   
Based on above,  Zia's visiting India as a guest and discussing above thorny issues where host India is the perpetrator of all above anti-BD actions, is naturally difficult and impossible. 

Issues for agenda

Teesta water share, border killings, trade gap etc will certainly remain in the agenda. Following aspects also crucially important to be discussed and conveyed:

a. Anti-democratic actions, oppression on opposition and suppression on media,
b. Human Rights violations by crossfire, disappearances, violence of Awami Chatro League cadres.
c. Massive corruption by govt in share market, Padma Bridge, Quick Rental power, banks.
d.  Nation's disapproval to giving corridor to India against our economic interest, security and sovereignty.
e.  Asian Highway has to be through India-BD-Myanmar.
f.  BD must be allowed to export that amount of products which is equal to the cost of imported goods from India.
g.  India's assistance to a particular political party in BD is not liked by BD people who consider it as external intervention to our politics.
h.  India's unfriendly acts are liable for anti- Indian sentiment among BD people which must be mend.
i. Our Tin Bigha corridor to be handed over against Berubari enclave which BD already handed over.
j. Due water share from Farakka and abandonment of Tipaimukh Dam project. 
k. Awami govt's failure in protecting the minorities, involvement of local Awami leaders in Ramu violence against Buddists and govt's policy of gaining western support by selling fear of Muslim's extremism in Bangladesh.
l. Assurance from  India to totally abandon proxi war policy in CHTs and not allow her territory to be used against Bangladesh by any armed outfit.
m. India to abandon our Talpotti Island and accept BD's claim regarding maritime boundary.

We look forward to see that Bangladesh and India will live together respecting each other's sovereignty and any treaty between these two countries must be based on equality, mutual respect and interests.

Attacks On Buddhists: Ominous inaction

Intelligence agencies, law enforcers acted strangely to let govt down

Despite having enough security support at hand, law enforcement and intelligence agencies did not even try to ward off or contain the violence against the Buddhist community in Ramu of Cox's Bazar last month.

On the night of September 29, it took several hours before the marauding gangs of zealots could go on the rampage over a faked Facebook page insulting the Quran.

All this time, the local police and intelligence personnel remained conspicuously inactive. They did not pass any information to the upazila and district administration about the growing outrage that culminated in the destruction of centuries-old Buddhist temples and monasteries and houses.

The mayhem could not be averted even though Ramu was better positioned than other upazilas to deal with the situation.

Unlike many other upazilas, Ramu has offices of the army and paramilitary Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). Besides, Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), National Security Intelligence (NSI) and Special Branch (SB) of police operate here from Cox's Bazar, a 20-minute drive from Ramu upazila headquarters.

Then there is Ramu police's own intelligence mechanism, including paid sources, watchers and informers.

"They [agencies and police] get a good amount of source money to gather information through their networks," said a civil administration official of Cox's Bazar.

However, all this amounted to nothing at the time of a real crisis.

The district and upazila administration received hardly any intelligence from the field on the evening of September 29.

Nazibul Islam, the then officer-in-charge of Ramu Police Station, had all along kept the local administration in the dark about the troubles brewing.

Likewise, Selim Jahangir, Cox's Bazar superintendent of police, gave no information to the district administration about the disturbing developments for hours.

Ramu Upazila Nirbahi Officer Debi Chanda heads the local law-and-order committee, of which the OC is the member secretary. Yet she did not get any information from Nazibul.

Debi came to know about the disturbances from Jainul Bari, the outgoing deputy commissioner of Cox's Bazar, after 10:30pm. SP Selim contacted Jainul around the same time.

It had already been nearly three hours then since the bigots began inciting hatred against the Buddhists from Ramu's busiest marketplace Fakirabazar between 7:30pm and 8:00pm.

As per section 127 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), a UNO (as magistrate) and an OC have the power to disperse any unlawful assembly or a gathering of five or more persons that is likely to disturb the peace.

Under section 129 of the CrPC, the UNO (as magistrate) has the power to call in the military to help the civil administration break up an unruly assembly that cannot otherwise be dispersed.

The OC and the UNO of Ramu did not exercise these powers.

The local administration imposed section 144 of the CrPC -- ban on all kinds of gatherings, rallies and processions -- only the following morning, whereas it could have done so much earlier or overnight.

Section 145 of Police Regulations of Bangladesh gives an OC the authority to prepare her/his constables with arms to combat a possible outrage. S/he is also supposed to inform the matter to her/his nearest magistrate.

In Ramu, Debi Chanda was the OC's nearest magistrate, but Nazibul told her nothing.

"What I lacked was information. Except that, I had everything to tackle such a massive chaos," she said.

"I had asked the officer-in-charge to arrange necessary force and to set up check posts so that no outsider could enter. But the OC did not comply."

Around 11:30pm, Debi went to Chaumuhuni Circle, where fanatics were holding rallies and processions. She found OC Nazibul there as well.

Witnesses said shoes were thrown at Debi from a procession there and no other officials present had to face such a backlash.

Instead of moving in to deal with a potentially violent mob, Nazibul made provocative statements at a rally of several hundred people.

Some officials in Ramu and Cox's Bazar too have told The Daily Star about the dubious role played by the OC.

A BGB official said the then DC told them around 11:30pm to be prepared for any situation. But the border guards got the final call for deployment at 1:20am. The army was deployed even later.

The BGB official, wishing not to be named, said many temples were torched before they moved in. When the rioters started to leave Ramu, he asked the OC to arrest as many as possible. "The OC did not arrest a single person."

Even after all this, Nazibul refused to accept any blame for the inaction of the law enforcers while talking to this correspondent on October 2, hours before he was withdrawn.

According to some locals, he had some personal grudges against Buddhists.

Lately, police bosses in Ramu and Cox's Bazar have been trying to give an impression that they learned about the violence when it was already too late. But the sequence of events that this correspondent has gathered from eyewitnesses does not bear them out.

Omar Faruk, the owner of a mobile phone servicing shop at Ramu Bazar, said police came to his outlet twice between 8 and 9 that night. They wanted to see Uttam Kumar Barua's so-called Facebook page and the anti-Islam photo.

Police picked up Faruk and his friend Abdul Moktadir around 9:00pm, according to Moktadir's mother and Faruk. Their statements suggest the law enforcers were aware of the hate campaign in the evening.

An official, on condition of anonymity, said Cox's Bazar SP did not inform DC Jainul Bari over the phone before 10:30pm.

Some serving and former admin officials in Cox's Bazar and Ramu told this correspondent that the OC could have directly requested the DC to call in troops.

Also, intelligence agencies, which usually share necessary information with the district and upazila administration, were reportedly not active that night.

"Earlier, we had never felt any coordination problem among the civil administration in Cox's Bazar and Ramu and intelligence agencies," said an official in Ramu. "But we don't know why they did not give us any information on that crucial night."

At a meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Cox's Bazar on October 8, acting DC Jasim Uddin said information from Ramu came late to the district headquarters.

He came to know about the incident around 11:00pm and then started for Ramu with the SP, a meeting source said.

SP Selim told the PM that he learned about the incident around 10:30pm and then spoke to the OC over the phone.

"The OC told me the situation was under control. He had seized the computer from the shop and sent a force to arrest Uttam," the SP told the PM. "I also contacted the local DGFI and NSI; they told me they knew nothing."

SP Selim also said that as he called again, OC Nazibul said demonstrators would end their processions at 12:30am.

He called the OC again around midnight. The OC told him protest processions were going on, but there was no violence.

People started to pour into Ramu as the local lawmaker left after addressing the demonstrators. The SP told the PM that the OC had not given him this picture.

Meanwhile, Cox's Bazar District Imam Samity President Mohammad Kamal Uddin's version has called into question the SP's claim that he learned about the agitation not before 10:30pm.

Kamal told The Daily Star yesterday that Cox's Bazar Sadar Police Station's former OC Kamrul Hasan picked him up from the town around 9:15pm and took him to the SP's office around 9:25pm.

Kamal learned about the agitation from SP Selim and Kamrul before 9:30pm.

The SP was still at his office when the attackers began torching temples and houses in Ramu around 12, he added.

Nurul Islam, Cox's Bazar Awami League leader and special public prosecutor for women and children repression prevention tribunal, was in Ramu on the night of September 29.

He called the SP five times from 10:30pm till midnight asking him to send in a force.

"The SP received my call three times and every time he said he was sending a force. But we did not see police before 4:00am on September 30," Nurul said.

On Sunday, Jasim Uddin was transferred and attached to the public administration ministry. He took over as acting DC of Cox's Bazar from Jainul Bari on September 30.

Jainul was made an officer on special duty over his alleged inaction during the communal attacks in Ramu.
