If you ever find yourself in Dhaka, the first thing that you should do whether it is morning or evening is take a CNG (electric taxi) to Sadarghat. The River Buriganga, is the lifeblood of Bangladesh.
It is fascinating to watch the large river ferries, overladen with people and the loading and unloading of produce to ramshackle warehouses on the riverfront. Triple-decked ferries are docked along the side of the jetty while small wooden boats pile their trade in between. The shrill of sirens sound like an air raid as boats depart and arrive from the countryside.
A constant stream of humanity flows up gangplanks and on to ferries moored tightly together along rusting pontoons. Ship’s bells and klaxons, the cries of porters, vendors and beggars, the muezzins announcing prayer – it is a cauldron of noise. It’s seems chaotic, but it’s one step in a well-organized supply chain across the country, dating back many centuries.

Here you see a ferry boat taxi rank, passengers step onto the first boat and the other boatmen punt their boat around making sure to keep their place in the queue.
