PESSENGERS The tempo will not start until all the seats are sold. Entry is via the rear of the vehicle. Most passengers sit on the rexine covered benches: two facing each other at the back of the tempo and a third behind the front seats. Twelve people are squashed into a space barely big enough to seat eight. For the lucky ones there are two places up on the front seats next to the driver. Tempos are the cheapest form of public transport in Bangladesh. The fare per mile is 1 taka (2 pence). The average speed of a tempo is 30mph. Passengers say they like to travel by tempo because it is cheaper, faster and safer than the ubiquitous tricycle rickshaw. |
