Islamabad, Pakistan – In a major step towards improving transportation options for women, the government of Islamabad has officially restored and launched a fleet of pink buses designed exclusively for female passengers. After being dormant for some time, the buses are now operational, offering a safer and more comfortable commute for women across the city.
The initiative, part of the government’s broader strategy to promote gender equality and secure public transportation, is expected to alleviate concerns around harassment and overcrowded buses. The fleet, which was previously unused due to maintenance and logistical issues, has been fully refurbished and is now ready to serve women traveling to work, school, and other destinations.
The pink buses will operate on key routes, and the service is expected to run daily during peak hours. The move has been widely praised by women’s rights groups and the general public as a significant step toward addressing transportation inequalities faced by women in Pakistan.
