According to provincial authorities, new buses have been introduced in Quetta and Gwadar, two key cities with growing populations and increasing transportation needs.
Why This Matters
For many residents, daily commuting has long been a challenge due to limited transport facilities. With the arrival of more public buses:
- Accessibility will improve, allowing people to travel more easily between residential, commercial, and educational areas.
- Affordability will increase, giving people a cheaper alternative to private taxis and rickshaws.
- Sustainability is enhanced, as buses can carry more passengers in fewer vehicles, reducing overall fuel consumption and emissions.
Focus on Quetta
Being the provincial capital, Quetta has always been the hub of economic and educational activities. The expansion of bus services is expected to ease traffic pressure and help students, office workers, and daily commuters save time and money.
Gwadar’s Growing Demand
Gwadar, known for its strategic importance under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is experiencing rapid development. With rising employment and trade activities, more buses will support the city’s growing mobility needs.
The Road Ahead
This development reflects the government’s intent to modernize the transportation sector and bring relief to the public. If successful, similar expansions could be planned in other cities of Balochistan, paving the way for a stronger, connected, and more accessible province.
