The Transportation Situation in Kathmandu

Image
Every day the commuter in Kathmandu needs to go through hectic travel to and fro the workplace, college/school, and home. Not only is the travel long, but it is also dangerous. The vehicles are too small to accommodate a large number of passengers and those which are big enough are also too few. The cost paid is also not scientifically fixed, though on the surface it seems to be generally acceptable.  As a common commuter one needs to make a plan while traveling. It is a blessing to reach your destination on time and without looking like a warrior who has survived a ruthless war. One needs to prepare an hour to reach a destination that can be reached in half. Also, s/he should be mentally and physically prepared. Despite the strict regulations, there are loopholes like the number of passengers or maximum weight a vehicle should not cross. Conductors are encouraged to lie about the seats available and the time one can reach the destination. The right to information is breached. Als
