Fifteen-year-old Ontora calling passengers to board a Mirpur-bound BRTC bus in the city's Farmgate area. She took the job of a helper around six months ago. Working from 8:00am to 5:00pm, she makes Tk 150 daily. Many commuters look at her in disbelief as the risky job is usually taken up by men. She also faces many challenges in the job.
