Taxis can be a convenient way to get around Dhaka. To find one, head to a busy intersection or a hotel lobby. As taxis rarely have meters, it's important to agree on a price before getting in. BDCabs is a reputable taxi company to consider.

They are cheap, but often so crowded you'd be lucky to squeeze through the door.
