The Sindh government has revealed an official list of People’s Bus Service routes and the stops that they entail.
The notification highlights the following details:
Recently, one of the new buses broke down on I.I. Chundrigar Road. Viral social media images showed the passengers pushing the unserviceable bus out of the road.
According to details, these buses can accommodate 54 passengers at a time. However, they are often overcrowded with over 150 passengers. The passengers complained that the buses are starting to show signs of dilapidation due to frequent overloading.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has ordered the urgent rehabilitation of all People’s Bus Service routes. He approved Rs. 1.5 billion for the repair of all routes.
