Should the city add more buses on the Mirpur–Motijheel route between 6pm and 10pm, even though it means fewer buses on less-used routes at those hours?

Why this is being asked

Passenger counts on this corridor have risen 31% since the metro extension opened, and the evening peak now runs past 10pm. Moving buses from quieter routes would cut waits on this one from 14 minutes to about 8, but would lengthen waits elsewhere.

What will be done with the result

The coordination authority will use the result in the winter schedule revision due in December. If the result supports the change, it will be trialled for eight weeks on this corridor and published with its own passenger counts.
