Water taxis

Bangladesh is essentially a huge delta. The water starts it's journey in the mountains of Nepal, travels down through India, dividing into several rivers --- the Padma, Jamuna, and Meghna --- as it flows to the Bay of Bengal on the Indian Ocean.

These rivers have deposited their sediment over the centuries to create the land now known as Bangladesh. Most transportation of goods and services is by boat. This picture shows water taxis that ferries people from one part of Dhaka to another.
