Transportation
We will most likely have many photos of transportation in the next four months. The common means for us will be walking or going by rickshaw or CNG. CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas. These are enclosed 3-wheeled “carts” with motors that run on natural gas. They are fairly new vehicles and have helped reduce air pollution a great deal. Rickshaws are very colorful and are used for short distances. The CNGs can be used to travel across town. MCC also has several cars with drivers which we can use at times.
Traffic here in Dhaka is as chaotic as many places we have been. There are not many motorbikes. On our trip to Mymensingh, the roads outside Dhaka had a lot of buses but were not nearly as crowded as we expected.
