He said, "If you go alone to Barisal, Madaripur or the southern region, you will definitely ride a motorcycle. And if there are five people with you, you cannot take all of them on a motorcycle. If you want to take a motorcycle there, you have to take an alternative arrangement. Maybe on the roof of the bus or on the launch. It has to be done, we will adjust it."
