In a significant stride towards enhancing the public transportation system in Karachi, the Sindh government proudly introduces the “Peoples Bus Service.” This addition to Karachi’s transportation network is aimed at providing efficient and accessible transit options for the city’s residents, offering a welcome solution to the ongoing mobility challenges faced by its citizens.
Red Bus Ticket Price: Affordable and Accessible
The People’s Bus Service proudly presents air-conditioned red buses, each capable of seating approximately 40 passengers, complete with dedicated spaces for women. Additionally, these buses offer standing room for up to 40 more commuters, ensuring that the service remains accessible for all. The fare for most routes is a wallet-friendly PKR 50. However, for Route 9, which extends beyond Malir Halt, the fare is PKR 100. This pricing structure caters to the diverse needs of Karachi’s populace, making public transportation an affordable choice for everyone.
