The Pink Bus Service is a game-changer for working women and girl students in Islamabad. It’s free, safe, and built to make daily travel stress-free. The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training are ready to take it up a notch.
Current Impact and Reach
Right now, 22 buses cover five rural sectors during peak hours. Over 4,000 women hop on every day. A recent review says it’s working; women feel safer and find travel easier. It’s a reliable option that fits their busy lives.
Big Plans for Growth
The ministry has bold ideas. They want to add more buses and extend routes to reach underserved rural areas. Better timings are also on the table to match women’s schedules. Safety stays first, with trained female staff on board to keep things secure.
Listening to Riders
Feedback is key. The ministry wants to regularly hear from riders to keep improving the service. They’re genuinely committed to meeting women’s needs and making sure everything stays high-quality..
Funding the Future
If the 2025–26 budget comes through, these upgrades could roll out soon. More buses, new routes, and improved timings could help thousands more women get to work or school with ease.
Why It Matters
For many women, getting around Islamabad is tough. Public transport can be unsafe or crowded, and private options cost too much. The Pink Bus Service changes that. It’s not just a ride, it’s a way to open doors to education and jobs.
What’s Next?
It's a positive initiative toward women's empowerment. This service could make your daily commute smoother and safer. Stay tuned for updates. The Pink Bus Service is ready to grow.
