Getting Around

When you reach a city in Bangladesh, you have choices for how you want to travel.

The most prefered by tourists are taxi.

Then there is rickshaw, a 3-wheeled bike and a big seat for at least two passengers. Cheaper but not so safe.

There is also autorickshaw, also 3-wheeled but not a bike, a car with seats for at least two passengers. It's safer than rickshaw and also faster.

There is also the bus, very crowded and not so clean. Buses also have a messy schedule and limited stops.

There is the train, not all trains are crowded. Trains are also the best transportation to villages and to neighboring countries. You can also get to see the green beauty of Bangladesh that is left out in all the polution and buildings.

There is also boats. Boats are not crowded. It is slow but it is nice. Some boats also have shops inside that sell a variety of items. There are also special boats where you can buy fresh fruits, fish and vegetables. Boats are available to and from Cox Bazaar and other areas.

Some special areas use animals like elephants, horses and other animals.
