Data from Bangladesh and Nepal should not be directly compared as differences between the two countries may reflect the differing vehicle fleets in use.
*In Bangladesh, mini-buses are mostly private four-wheeled vehicles hired by one family or organisation and have therefore been included with cars. In Nepal, mini-buses may also be four-wheeled vehicles but these are public transport vehicles and have therefore been included in the Bus category. Measurement period in Bangladesh: June 2013–May 2014 (before implementation of the speed management programme). Measurement period in Nepal: 1 May 2019–30 April 2020.
