Pakistan's Electric Bus Service Faces Overcrowding and Long Wait Times
The electric bus service between Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences and Media Town faces challenges due to overcrowding and long intervals, reportedly about 30 minutes between buses. The discontinuation of the No. 136 bus has increased passenger pressure, causing difficulties especially for women, elderly, and children. Commuters have urged authorities, including the Capital Development Authority chairman, to reduce intervals to 10 minutes to improve access and comfort on this route.
