Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh. 26th Jan, 2026. Passenger launches are seen anchored along the banks of the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Once a primary mode of transportation to the southern Barishal division, river travel was widely used due to the absence of bridges over the Padma River, which required long ferry crossings and extended road journeys. Following the opening of the Padma Bridge, travel time by road has significantly decreased, leading to a gradual decline in passenger demand for river launches.
