Being the easiest and fastest way to commute through jam-packed traffic, motorbikes are an important part of people's lives in Bangladesh. The two-wheeler vehicles may be dangerous due to riders being out in the open and accidents potentially causing severe injury, but people still choose to buy them owing to their usefulness, ease of use and relatively less expensive maintenance and cost compared to a car.
