The government will take action against the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority if it does not improve its services within the next one month.

Along with this, the authority was also asked to take help from private organisations and police to improve its fitness checking and driving licenses related works.

While saying this at a press briefing held at the Bidyut Bhaban, the road transport and bridges ministry adviser Muhammad Fawzul Kabir Khan also said that action would be taken against the BRTA chairman and its officials if their services were not improved within one month.

He further said that within May 2025 the buses, older than 20 years, and the trucks, older than 25 years, would be made off street.

Some visible actions would be taken in the traffic congestion prone areas of the capital in the next seven days, he added.

Company-bus operation on nine routes under the Green Cluster under the Nagar Paribahan would start running in the capital on pilot basis, he added.
