Transport

Motorcycles comprised half of Dhaka's registered vehicles in 2023, while car ownership rate is only six per cent. One of the world's least motorised cities, the three-wheeled cycle rickshaw is the most popular and ubiquitous mode of transport, which accounted for 54 per cent of vehicle trips in 2011. Dhaka is among the most congested cities in the world, and traffic was estimated to cost the local economy US$6.5 billion per year in 2020. The average speed of a car travelling in the city is less than 7 kilometres per hour (4.3 mph). Auto rickshaws powered by compressed natural gas, often referred to by locals as "CNGs", are also a popular mode of transport.
