New Public Transport System For Rawalpindi in 2 months’

RAWALPINDI: The city residents will have better transport facilities within next two months, as the Punjab Government has authorised the district government to introduce a private public transport system in accordance with people’s need, said District Nazim Raja Javed Ikhlas in a press statement.

He said a Chinese company, besides others, was willing to ply 100 buses at different routes of Rawalpindi. The nazim said a committee had been constituted that was working and would inspect the buses of Varan Tours and other companies within few days. The district government wants to run the buses fired by compressed natural gas (CNG), he said.The committee, he said, would review the condition of buses to know if those were competent enough to provide comfortable transport facilities to passengers.

He said protection would be accorded to company that would get franchise routes, while decision in this respect would be taken on merit. online

True Mr. Ahsan! Lets hope for the Good as such news do make headlines these days due to the severe need of their implementation on urban routes.

This blog is certainly truthful in quoting Mr. Ikhlas but is certainly not doing justice by displaying those lucrative pictures which have absolutely NO resemblance/relevance to Mr. Ikhlas' statement and/or plans.

You are very right waqaas, the pictures displayed in every post do not match with typical Pakistani case but just to make my blog look attractive. But I certainly have a dream to see such roads and modes of transportation in my country.
