The public transporters continue to violate their designated routes to mint extra money from the passengers in twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The commuters, who travel daily between the twin cities of Rawalpindi-Islamabad had been facing problems due to non-compliance of route number 1, 1C, 3, 111, 120, 121, 24, 21, 124 and 127 by the public transporters.
Sajid-ur-Rehman, a commuter operator, said due to route violation of the transporters he had to change two vans and pay double fare for the same route while coming from or going back to Rawalpindi. He said there should be an effective mechanism to ensure route completion, and grievances of the commuters should be addressed by the authorities concerned. The commuters also said that the authorities concerned should take stern action against the transporters involved in route violations.
When contacted for their views, the transporters said that due to weekly CNG load shedding, it was difficult for them to operate on petrol all day long. An official of the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) said that a help-line had been established to address the grievances of the commuters. He said that commuters could register their complaints with the department in case of route violation or overcharging by the transporters.
