By In a move aimed at enhancing Islamabad’s public transportation system, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced the launch of new feeder bus services. Approved by CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Muhammad Ali Randhawa, this initiative aims to provide better connectivity and transportation options for residents.
New Routes for Enhanced Connectivity
Three major routes have been designated for the feeder bus service:
- Tarnol to Secretariat
- Bahria Town to Pirwadhai
- Rawat Chowk to Secretariat
These routes have been carefully planned to pass through key areas such as business districts, universities, and hospitals, ensuring convenient access for commuters to essential locations.
Modern Features for Commuter Convenience
To streamline the travel experience, CDA officials have been instructed to implement a passenger card system, offering weekly and monthly travel options. This approach is designed to provide flexibility and cost-efficiency for regular commuters.
Additionally, Randhawa emphasized the importance of technological integration, proposing the development of a mobile application to facilitate ticket booking and real-time bus tracking. This innovation will make commuting more convenient and efficient for passengers.
Inclusive Public Transportation
Recognizing the importance of accessibility, the CDA has also proposed financial assistance for certain groups, including senior citizens. This measure is intended to make public transportation more affordable and inclusive for all segments of the population.
Transforming Islamabad’s Mobility Landscape
The launch of the feeder bus service is expected to contribute significantly to Islamabad’s broader mobility goals, ensuring better connectivity and improving the daily travel experience for residents.
By adopting strategic planning and modern technology, the CDA’s initiative is poised to transform the capital’s public transport system, making it more efficient, accessible, and user-friendly.
