The world's "greatest railway journey" will be longer than the Trans-Siberian railway, which spans 5772 miles, reported the Times Online.India has already earmarked 90 million pounds to extend its vast rail network towards its border with Burma.

The UN said the link would open up new trade routes within Asia and give the former Soviet republics of central Asia rail access to Iran's strategic seaport...

[MyTuneBD.Com] Roundtable on "Reducing Traffic Congestion in Dhaka"
2008-01-13 11:14:00 Roundtable Discussion on "Reducing Traffic Congestion in Dhaka and Improving the Transport Situation" Dear Sir/Madam Greetings. Traffic congestion in Dhaka is a problem of great magnitude, from which the residents have long been suffering. Meanwhile, many initiatives have been taken to improve the situation. In order to reduce congestion, it is important to improve the quality of public transport, as well as conditions for walking and fuel-free travel.

The government has created a twenty-year Strategic Transport Plan (STP) for Dhaka, which is still under consideration. In its current form, adoption of STP would likely lead to increased travel time an...
