A tourist can’t miss these distinctive vehicles while traveling along Marine Drive in Cox’s Bazar. Known as “Chander Gari,” they have long been the most popular and reliable public transport on this scenic route.

For many first-time visitors, seeing these unusual vehicles is a pleasant surprise. Originally old government SUVs, they were auctioned off and refurbished and now serve as a unique mode of transport along Marine Drive.

Without roofs, these vehicles offer passengers the perfect opportunity to stand and simultaneously take in breathtaking views of the sea and the mountains.

Raihan Azad, a Chander Gari driver, told Cox’s Bazar Life that tourists love these vehicles, which makes their business thrive.
