The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to start an Express Bus Service in Islamabad.
According to sources, the Express Bus Service will be a non-subsidized service that will cover longer routes. The routes will be connected with all the bus terminals existing or planned in the future to synchronize the intra-city routes with inter-city ones to increase ridership.
The sources added that the express bus service will be a standard service for the citizens who can afford the higher fares. This bus service will provide transport facilities to citizens from one corner of the city to another in less time and will have fewer stops to save time.
Initially, the service will operate on two routes. One of the routes will be from T-Chowk, Rawat to Faisal Mosque while and the other route will be from Islamabad-Murree Motorway toll plaza to PIMS. Routes from Sangjani and other sides will be finalized later on.
CDA officials added that the bus will operate in the city under a private-public partnership. Private companies will operate the service while CDA will facilitate it.
CDA officials say that the work on the express bus service is going fast, and it will be made operational within 2 months.
CDA must introduce a bus service from Central ISLAMABAD to ISLAMABAD airport..Preferby from Centaurus Mall and return.
A orange metroline already running that connects city with the new airport
This metro serving only Airport – 26 number, rest all in between places are waiting for bus service
It’s spotty and stops running after 10pm.
But they do not give part of the payment to CDA
Good yaar
Well done
Good initiative is taking by government.
Good tidings. Please remember to connect E-11 also
Dear Sir, Great effort by CDA. But CDA Zone-2 Area is totally ignored. The sectors G-15, G-16 & F-15 had no transport facility by CDA, which is really terrible. A humble request to consider this area on priority basis because due to GT every day accidents happened.
It’s a great initiative of CDA
AOA…
Hopefully, you will be fine…
Your bus route is highly appreciated…
A bus route must be initiated/started from gulberg greens to naval headquarters for the employees of naval personnel…
Allah pak aasaniyaan farmaye, aameen summa aameen…
I think instead of introducing new bus service, blue line service should be extend till T-chowk and no. of buses must be increase. This will also provide luxurious feel when there will be no rush in the bus. Don’t Accommodate only specific societies. We all know that common commuter can not afford higher fares.
Service from Rawat to Islamabad is direly needed. This will not only faciliate travellers in terms of time saving, but also, will help in reduction of traffic load and fuel consumption. Hope this plan will be materialsed soon
Though it’s not in the jurisdiction of CDA, but connecting T choke & Peshawar road with Metro terminal sadar is a dire need of the time.
سی ڈی اے حکام اس طرح کی بس سروسز کو مہربانی کر کے منڈی موڑ اسلام آباد سے چلا کر آئی ٹین ، نائن اور جی 9 ،ط10 اور 11 تک رسائی دے خر عوام الناس کی دعائیں لے کیونکہ سب سے بری پبلک ٹرانسپورٹ سروسز انہی سیکٹرز کے رہائشیوں کو میسر ہے کیونکہ ان کے ساتھ جانورں جیسا سلوک ہوتا ہے ۔

Bus service from Taxila wahcantt to Zero point Islamabad via srinagar highway is much needed as thousands of employees coming to isld face difficulty and humiliation at the hands of local wagon transport mafia as these vehicles are not fit for roads.

In parallel, CDA plan to introduce 13 x routes for feeder buses ynder arrangement of NRTC & CMTA. CDA should operationalized that ones first. The tender has already been floated.
