People continued to suffer as the countrywide transport strike demanding amendments to the recently passed Road Transport Act entered second day on Monday.
In the capital, there was no public transport on the roads like the previous day.
Transport workers also took position at several points in the capital obstructing movement of vehicles.
CNG-run auto-rickshaws, private vehicles, rickshaws, were seen plying roads with a large number of commuters waiting on roads for transport to reach their destinations.
The number of government-run Bangladesh Road Transport Commission (BRTC) bus service is also very negligible.
No inter-district buses left Gabtoli, Mohakhali or Sayedabad terminals in the morning, UNB reports.
Reports from different districts say no long-route buses left their respective bus stands following the strike.
The demands of the transport workers include making all road accident offences 'bailable', cancellation of the provision of fining 0.5 million for involvement in a road accident, keeping a representative from their federation in any body formed for investigating a road accident, fixing minimum educational qualification for getting driving licence to class-V, and stopping police harassment on roads.
Earlier on October 12, the workers' association decided to stage demonstrations by going on a two-day work abstention from October 28 if their eight-point demand was not met by October 27.
