Bangabandhu Tunnel Bangladesh: Govt fixes Tk.200 for car toll

[Cheepek]

Yes, all our statistics are fake. Only Indian statistics are genuine, right?

Ask IMF which forced you to slash your forex reserves straight from $31B to $23B. A shameless country caught with their pants down fudging data!

Tbf, the genius @Destranator and @bluesky created a sticky thread mocking BD’s GDP.

And @Bilal9 was predicting dollar reserve to dry up last January leading to Hasina’s overthrow in February

Your enemies are inside and pray five times a day!

Hinduvta trolls are not the ones who should worry Bangladeshis!

Bangladesh had proper roadways and cars when your parents had to wait eight years for the choice of two cars in the 1980's and 1990's - Ambys (outdated Austin UK copy) and Premier Padmini (outdated Fiat copy), both of which were WWII era outdated cars.

Only in the last ten years are cars available in India somewhat similar to the outside world. Still the average size of Indian cars are micro mini Tata Nano size cars, which can't really be called proper vehicles.

My grandfather drove around in Toyota Corona in the late eighties (see picture below), oirokom gari tor bap dada chouddopurush oishomoi dekhe nai - chintao kortey partona. Fotor fotor bondho kor.

Shalar duidiner boiragi - bhaterey koi "onno". Bekoob.

Amra Bangladeshi shokoley jani India tey ki chhilo ar ekhon ki aasey. Chest beating korey luv nai. Toder entire tourism sector amader poishai choley gadha. Taka nibi ney - mukhta bondho rakh. Nailey oitao bondho korey dewa jabey.

Ja bhalo shomporko duidesher moddhey aasey - ta koikjon bhodro Indian der jonno aasey. Toder moto Bharotiyo bekoob der amra pusio na.

In any case, your lame attempt to hijack the thread here (as well as daily in all other Bangladeshi threads) has been noted and reported. Keep doing this and you will have a ban in no time.



The length of the entire route is 9.39 kilometres (5.83 mi), with the tunnel making up 3.32 kilometres (2.06 mi) of the length.

I don't think you can compare drilling tunnels through mountains vis-à-vis drilling under riverbeds, circumstances and tactics are quite different. I'd say underwater tunnels are much tougher to build, with water leaks a huge factor.

By the way, the 6.15-km Padma bridge we built recently has the following toll. It is what it is.

So i'm yet to read about any Bangladeshi made car. So you superior beings made your own cars and sold more than India did when we drove Ambis and Padminis?

Bangladeshis don't have those skills yet...

When Indians were puttering around in Amby's we were riding around in Toyota Publicas and other Japanese imports. And we also assembled and used Mitsubishis and Vauxhall Vivas.

Most Bangladeshis don't really jump up and down about these petty things. Like what garbage car gets made in my country etc. Only important for people who can't afford a car.

Yeah that's all you can do... if you could do more, you would have had Bangladesh car companies. The fact that you don't is an indicator that you couldn't do it then and you certainly can't do it now. Lack of skilled labor and intellectual; ability.

Your ignorance about our economy is your fault, not ours.

Do you understand basic economics? You aren't ashamed that you're measuring schwanzes with a country like Bangladesh?? with an economy probably one-eighth of India? Compare with China, then see where you are.

Setting up a car industry is not as big a deal as you bhakts make it out to be. It is a big deal in India because a couple of decades ago, all you could find in India were a couple of models like Ambassadors and Premier Padminis. And you had to "book" these cars - to be delivered eight years later. Ditto with Maruti 800cc mini-car. The scene in India changed only in the early 2000s and you make it look like it always has been like this.

Bangladesh does not have an economic use case to set up car industries because the market is small, unlike India, whose market is huge.

Yet we have assembled cars since the 1960's. Today locally assembled Protons, Hyundais, Mitsubishi cars all get sold locally. And Buses and Truck assembly are legion too. Motorcycle ownership is growing as well.

When you set up an industry, the market has to be large enough. Sales and profit proceeds has to make economic sense for recuperation of the investment. Some things make sense for the size of the Indian market, and they might not for Bangladesh.

Setting up industries are a business decision, not lack of skilled labor or intellectual ability, where Bengalis aren't slouches.

You Indians are generally very ignorant about our economy and talk in assumptive tone, mostly negative.

Have some respect, and narratives will be reasonable.

A lot of countries don't believe IMF's method of calculating forex reserves.

Those countries don't beg for loans from IMF too. Only when they have to approach IMF, they fix their Forex calculation.

There is no "IMF method" of calculating forex reserves.
You can only count money that you have. BD was caught with pants down counting dollars they've given on loans as their reserves.
This cooking up numbers isn't even small, it's a whopping ~35% fudging of your real numbers.

yea sure!
Setting an automobile industry is easy.. nope! its easy to thread a needle and that's why you do it because as a country you guys have a long way to go before you can even dream of making a car (not assembling) why do you run away when confronted with difficult facts? if the size of Bangladesh is a factor here why is it not a factor when you poke your nose in other comparisons against India?

Korea has a smaller population than you but export more cars then you can even count. So stop using the silly third grade skills you learnt and understand economies better before typing out stuff to make a narrative.

If your skills and abilities were better, Bangladeshis largest export would be more than stitching! That is a fact!

Of course they beg for loans but IMF forces them to calculate forex reserves according to their method.

200TK for a car is reasonable. In BD, cars are generally owned by relatively well off people due to the fact that there is very high tax on car prices. Also the money spent on building the tunnel must be recouped asap.

As long as the money is within our economy we can count them. But IMF says no.
