The decision came at an emergency meeting held by the association on Wednesday night, its Secretary General Khandaker Enayet Ullah told bdnews24.com on Thursday. We’ve received positive response [on restoring normal services] from the government as well,” he said. The association in a meeting with Bangladesh Road Transport Authority last week urged the government to allow buses to run at full capacity. It promised to reduce the fares to the pre-pandemic levels if the government accepts the proposal. Bus services resumed on Jun 1 after a 66-day lockdown to curb coronavirus infection, but the government limited the number of passengers to half the number of seats in order to ensure physical distancing.
