By The Punjab government has launched a dedicated bus service for women on Lahore’s Metro Bus route. The new initiative aims to improve passenger safety, reduce overcrowding, and make daily travel more comfortable for female commuters.
To begin the service, the Transport and Mass Transit Department has deployed five Speedo buses that will operate exclusively for women during busy travel hours.
Improving Safety for Female Passengers
Many women rely on public transport every day for work, education, and other essential travel. Heavy passenger traffic during peak hours can make commuting difficult.
The new buses give female passengers a dedicated travel option and help create a safer and more comfortable commuting experience.
Five Speedo Buses Join the Metro Route
The government has temporarily added five Speedo buses to the Metro Bus corridor. These buses will serve only female passengers.
Instead of waiting for a new fleet, authorities used existing Speedo buses to launch the service immediately.
More Dedicated Buses Planned
Officials describe the current arrangement as the first phase of the project.
The Punjab government plans to purchase new Metro buses that will remain permanently reserved for women. This step will help expand the service in the future.
Government Focuses on Better Public Transport
Punjab Transport Minister Bilal Akbar Khan said the initiative follows the directions of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. The government wants to improve safety, comfort, and accessibility for women using public transport.

Officials also plan to introduce more measures that support secure and convenient travel across the province.
Benefits for Daily Commuters
The new service can offer several advantages:
- Better safety during peak hours
- Less overcrowding for female passengers
- More comfortable daily travel
- Greater confidence in using public transport
The launch of women-only buses marks another effort to improve Lahore’s public transport network. Although the current service uses five Speedo buses, the government plans to introduce permanent women-only Metro buses in the future. If expanded successfully, the initiative could make public transport safer and more convenient for thousands of female commuters every day.
