Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, occupies an area of 1528 square kilometers and is home to approximately 18 million people (Swapan et al., 2017). Over the past 25 years, the city has experienced a significant population increase of more than 10 million people, presenting a considerable challenge due to its limited capacity. As a result, the livability of the city has been declining, with various issues affecting its quality of life. Among these challenges, the poor quality of public transport stands out.
