Despite the ongoing blockades and hartals, the traffic in Dhaka has started to become normal. However, this also means that it is no longer easy hailing a CNG on the street.
CNGs are a balance between speed and comfort when commuting in Dhaka, it is small enough to be able to zip through traffic congestions but you’re still protected from the sun and rain. However, the main problem with this mode of transport is that when hailing a CNG from the street, drivers demand exorbitant fares. Bargaining and arguing with them is exhausting and often does not result in reduced fares either.
In these situations, CNG from a ridesharing service like Uber may be your best bet. This service not only more affordable, it saves you from having to haggle with drivers. If you haven't used Uber CNG as of yet, this is also the perfect time to try it because the ridesharing platform is offering customers 50% discount on the first three CNG rides.
To enjoy this discount:
• Select your destination
• Call Uber CNG
• Enter promo code: CNGFTR23
However, do keep in mind that this discount is applicable only for first-time Uber CNG users for their first 3 rides, and the discount caps off at Tk 200.
So, if you want to put behind you the experience of standing on the street and haggling with CNG drivers, be sure to give this a try.
