Sindh’s Transport and Mass Transit Minister, Sharjeel Inam Memon, has announced that a Peoples Bus Service smartphone app will be launched on 30 November along with the installation of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) in the buses.
In this regard, the Minister presided over a meeting that was also attended by the Project Director of the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC), Sohaib Shafiq, and the Managing Director (MD) of Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA), Captain (r) Altaf Hussain Sario.
During the meeting, operations of the bus service, new routes, ITS, and setting up a command and control room (CCR) were also discussed.
At the occasion, Minister said that the app will help citizens in tracking the live location of the buses and will offer them an avenue for online payments, adding that the CCTV cameras, live tracking, and monitoring services will be installed under the ITS system.
As quoted by the News, MD SMTA stated that the app will offer three functions, which include bus routes, timings, and ticket fares. The commuters will be able to pay their fare via the app or a QR code through the online payment feature of the app, which will be launched later in December this year, he added.
He further elaborated that citizens will also be able to activate their Peoples Bus Service cards with the help of the new app.

Road tou sahi karlo
Instead of introducing wi fi gimmicks improve your services I understand fares have gone upto Rs 100.00 from Rs 50.00 they didn’t provide Rs 25.00 ticket for short journeys seems tickets are provided the old fashioned way from a tab is there accountability of that .instead should have installed ticket machine with the driver you either pay him to generate the ticket or if you have the correct fare put in the ticket machine and press the button against the fare ticket is generated automatically weekly or monthly passes are also swiped on the machine deduction of fare takes place after selecting your destination from the card introducing apps related fare is a good idea but this service is catering for lower middle class passengers not familiar with IT .
اگر حکمران اسی طرح کرپشن کر کے اپنی جائدادیں بیرون ملک بناتے رہیں گے تو انتشار سے بڑھ کر بغاوت بھی ہوسکتی ہے حکمرانوں کیخلاف۔ کیونکہ عوام اس مہنگائی اور تباہ حال انفراسٹرکچر کے ہاتھوں کب تک پستے رہیں گے۔ ایک دن انقلاب ضرور آئے جیسا کہ خمینی کا انقلاب تھا۔
تمام حکمرانوں کو تختہ دار پر لٹکایا جائے گا۔
