In a significant development for Quetta’s public transportation system, Commissioner of Quetta Division, Hamza Shafaqat, announced that an additional 100 green buses have been approved for the city’s Green Bus Service. This expansion comes as a welcome improvement to the city’s public transport infrastructure.
In a recent media briefing, Commissioner Shafaqat highlighted the positive impact of the Green Bus Service on Quetta’s transportation landscape. Currently, only 8 buses are operational under a private contract, catering to over 11,000 passengers daily. This high usage underscores the success and necessity of expanding the service.
The first phase of this expansion will see 25 new buses arriving within a month and a half. These buses will be deployed on various routes across the city, significantly enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of public transportation for Quetta’s residents. This increase in bus numbers is expected to alleviate the city’s heavy reliance on rickshaws and motorcycles, subsequently improving the overall traffic system and providing a more comfortable travel experience.
Commissioner Shafaqat emphasized that the arrival of these additional buses will contribute to a smoother and more efficient traffic flow in Quetta. With the reduction of rickshaws and motorcycles on the roads, the Green Bus Service is poised to offer a higher quality of travel for the citizens.
The Green Bus Service has already proven to be a crucial asset for Quetta, and this planned expansion reflects the city’s commitment to improving public transportation. The introduction of these 100 new buses will not only meet the growing demand but also pave the way for a more sustainable and organized urban transport system.
Stay tuned for further updates as Quetta’s Green Bus Service continues to evolve, bringing better connectivity and convenience to the city’s commuters.
