Public transportation issues in Karachi continue as the regular absence of Peoples’ Bus Service drivers is causing difficulties for commuters on multiple routes.
According to a media report, Karachiites are starting to see Peoples’ Bus Service as a nuisance rather than a facility. The absence of bus drivers and shortage of staff have become common problems for the service.
Citing sources, the report adds that the Sindh government has also reduced the number of buses from 30 to 20. Meanwhile, commuters using the service have complained about delays on various routes.
Additionally, the elimination of 10 buses on the R-1 route from Malir Model Colony to DHA Karachi has resulted in longer commuter wait times.
The supervisor of the Bus Service – R1 route, on the other hand, stated that the official time from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. is being recorded as peak time, and efforts are being made to ensure that drivers arrive at their designated times.

A govt. who can’t even run 30 buses efficiently cannot be expected to run an province in a good manner, and the state of affairs of Sindh province is proof of their ineptness.
This will teach the People of Karachi a lesson that she should stop voting for mafias.
Karachites dont vote for PPP, these guys win from rural areas, thats why this time they cheated in the population count and showed a massive decrease in khi so that we dont have enuf seats to decide fates.
All of u guys saying that Karachiites should not vote for ppp must know by now that atleast 80percent of Karachiites do not vote for ppp. Ppp have their people in all polling stations.. filling forms and adding fake votes.. i live in karachi and can tell you that not a single person i know supports ppp except for a relative who has a govt job(u know why he supports ppp) (police department is full of their people so public can’t do a thing), even if pti aur jamate islami wins a seat.. it doesn’t matter.. my uncle won the bi-election of 2023… he’s from pti..he later got to know that ppp is also celebrating their “win” ..the political figures of pti went to the DC office but there were containers blocking their way … and was not even given the results of the election and sent away.. this is the situation here.. let me tell u one more thing .. this year people were certain that all the seats in Nazimabad and bufferzone is of jui but they didn’t even win there because of dhandli.. i hope u get my point… Now stop saying that people of karachi are dumb..
Man nobody votes for these mafias that’s the thing that people outside of karachi don’t understand they think that we deliberately vote for th em but in truth we don’t it’s the corruption that they and sadly nobody does anything about it and put all the blame on karachites
Voting is not a solution, sharia is, swift accountability.
with voting, its like bringing same morons over and over again.
پیپلز بس سروس کو سندھ حکومت نے عوام کی آنکھوں میں دھول جھونکنے اور صرف الیکشن جیتنے کیلئےچلایا تھا۔ یہ ناکارہ بسیں تھیں جنہیں جلدی جلدی خریدیں گئیں۔ قوم کے قیمتی خزانے کو کو نقصان پہنچایا گیا۔ اب الیکشن جیتنے کے بعد یہ بسیں آہستہ آہستہ ملبے کا ڈھیر بنتی جائیں گی۔ اور پھر کراچی کی سڑکوں پر وہی چنگچی’ دھکے’ منی بس کی چھتوں پر سفر اھل کراچی کا مقدر ھوگا۔ حکومت کا اسطرح کا دھوکہ باز کارنامہ ھمیشہ بچہ بچہ یاد رکھے گا۔ سندھ گورنمنٹ کراچی کو کچھ نہیں دے گی۔ بس دھوکہ اور فریب۔
Let me explain as I persobally use the service. There has been some sort shift recently and drivers are becoming beligerant. And stopping the bus to fill it to the rim is a huge issue. so much so that a female passenger to get in and off is i.possible brushing past male passengers.
People had already predicted that within a year these buses would disappear. It was just to earn some popularity and more importantly Haram money by the shamless Sindh government.
Such articles are written deliberately to make everything controversial… Nothing evidential…
Stupidity is at peak in Pakistan.
Such great efforts from Government should be appraised and applauded at all level despite of searching keeras (look at the heading)
The only thing stupid here is your comment. The PPP had constantly been in power for the last 14 years and anyone with “eyes ” can see how Karachi suffered so such efforts will always be criticized because of past experiences.
That is true but I know how much facility are these buses i also have travelled in these.
Drivers have adapted themselves to the style of the Sindh Government employees.
Let Pray for them to can do some thing for.SINDH. PPP after 14 years give some buses in city.
Also, there is not even place to stand properly. The bus conductor let in that many people that there’s no place to stand. The bus has the capacity of 40 people max but there is more than 100 passengers.
Asslamoalaikum
One thing I would like to say.after 75 years we blessed with these red buses after paying taxes from 75 years
One thing needs to be answered “”is this we called progress or what “””
Compare to other countries like India and Bangladesh
It is hilarious service since start
Corrupt and incompetent management as like whole Sindh
نجانے کن بے وقوف لوگوں کے لئے یہ بس سروس شروع کی جا رہی ہے۔ ایوب دور کی بسیں اور پٹھان ڈرائیوروں والی بسوں میں سواری کرنے والوں کو عزت راس نہیں۔ حکومت کی نا اہلی اپنی جگہ لیکن یہ نا اہلی صرف گورنمنٹ کے کھاتے میں نہیں۔ کہاں ہیں ٹرانسپورٹ اتحاد مافیا؟ کہاں ہے نام نہاد کراچی والے؟ آگے بڑھیں اور حکومت سے مطالبہ کریں ٹرانسپورٹ ہم چلائیں گے آپ بسیں پوری کریں اور ڈرائیوروں کو ٹریننگ دیں۔ باقی کام ٹرانسپورٹ اتحاد و کراچی کے تاجر و دیگر کا ہے وہ شہر کا انتظام سنبھال لیں گے۔
As anticipated, these buses will be gradually phased out, thanks to transport mafia and the corrupt government officials.
These buses will be sold as peanuts to these transport mafia and finally Karachites will be at their mercy once again.
This is an ongoing vicious cycle, that needs to be broken, but by whom and how, is multi million dollars question.
Once a Mazda driver told me , , char din ki Chandni , phir Andheri rat , now I understand what he said .
I am sure there no shirtage of staff rather it is over staff but ghost staff and like other Givernment departments there must be political recruient therefore they are free to be absent from duty with pay
Start hiring female drivers
Rute R 4 from Boultan Market to Waterpump
Driver drive slowly and fully loaded passengers than stopping bus every stop he knows no Palace for other passenger but I don’t know why he do that
On Saturday 3pm
People Bus Service has not been operating for the last two days due to damage of bus service (red bus) in Karachi by “Yothias”. Millions of commuters to be deprived of affordable and comfortable bus services, resulting in inconvenience and financial burden for the affected individuals.
The person who used to travel for Rs. 100 is now paying Rs. 300 for the same journey. Who is responsible for the extra amount paid by this person?? Any IK follower is ready to pay on behalf of poor men?
Please extend the Roots of R10 that is matric board office to clifton because there is no Red bus service
بسوں میں جو دو دو سیٹر ، ایک ایک کے پیچھے ایک ہوتی ہیں انکو ختم کرکے بس کی اندرونی دیوار کے ساتھ ساتھ لمبی لمبی بینچیں ہونا چائیں – بیٹھنے کے لئیے جگہ اتنی ہی پڑ جائیگی لیکن کھڑے ہو کر سفر کرنے والوں کو آسانی ہوگی- مزید یہ کہ ایک مسافر دوسرے کی گود میں بیٹھ سکتا ہے ، ان دونوں سے آدھا آدھا کرایہ لیا جائے – خیر اندیش خالد
