In Bangladesh, transportation is a huge market. Chalo, a Uber like service, and BDcabs.com launched last year. There are few other players in market like Toma and Runner but they are more of a taxicab service provider without an app to connect riders and drivers. There has been rumor of launch of few real ride hailing startups like Oikhali, Taxiwala for a while but none of those services launched yet. Now that Uber is about to launch, the game for ride hailing space is going to change entirely.
