CNG drivers in Dhaka are enduring extensive queues and escalating fuel costs, impacting their livelihoods. Motaleb Hossain, a driver from Khilgaon Nayapara, waited from 8 PM Thursday at the Hajipara CNG station, only progressing to the Rampara market area by 10 PM. He previously secured fuel in Demra after a lengthy wait, receiving 80 taka worth of gas. He reports initial costs of 350 taka, with a collected amount of 1200 taka, raising concerns about profitability. This situation highlights the difficulties faced by CNG drivers navigating fuel access and rising expenses in the capital city, leaving them questioning their ability to sustain their work. The long wait times and increasing costs are putting significant financial strain on drivers like Motaleb.
