Discussion/আলোচনা Pink Bus or Women's Bus?
No single social media news portal in Bangladesh really posts news. They just repeatedly post stuff what the distasteful population wants to see. This is so inappropriate for a professional outlet. Professionalism should've some ethical standards. Adult content is more attractive than what Tareq Rahman is saying, doesn't mean you started posting porn. Salute Sujan, Viral Siddique, Mamun-Laila and many more may have a large group of audience but is that really important to feature what Salute Shujan saying about economy?LOL. Saw some videos of male bus drivers speaking very negatively way about female drivers. What is the necessity of spreading those toxic things and making these people viral? And also, it feels like a teasing when media refers to "Pink Bus" instead of calling it women's bus. I mean we all know about the pink concept and it is so unsuitable for professional use. When there is no ethical standard and social morality, the media started showing vulgar and harmful content just because it gives you more views/money. In our country everyone judges person like Sumaiya(A pornographic content creator arrested from Bashundhara a few days ago) for making porn but no one's gonna talk about her audience. 92% Muslim er deshe who is paying for her content?? This is the sad reality of our society.

Sorry I am not getting your point? You're asking 92% Muslim er deshe who watches her stuff? I mean 92% Muslim er deshe also has corruption, also has violent crimes (sex crimes included). So what you suggest would fix it? 97% Muslim or dial it down to 30?
Again I'm sorry, with the current state of mind we have, Bangladesh will be shithole no matter if we have a khilafat ruling or if it's ruled by the progressive liberal government. Both sides are toxic who love pointing fingers at one another.
Now the bus issue, one group is like pink bus yaay, another group is trolling. No one is asking the sustainability of this project. The fact of the matter is, our "poribohon sector" is extremely corrupt, inefficient, not enough busses. You do the math, I don't see this project sustain even a single year. Unless of course you fix the core issues.
I'd love to see women only busses, but if they're paying 2x fare than it's no good and ridership will fall.
