Bus services in Dhaka are notoriously unregulated and accident-prone. A research by the National Committee to Protect Shipping, Roads and Railways showed that over 4,200 people were killed and 16,100 others were injured in road accidents in 2017 in Dhaka.[3][6] It is estimated that around 2.4 million vehicles are being driven by unqualified drivers in Dhaka in 2018.[7]
