KARACHI: In a first initiative of its kind since its launch last month, the Sindh government has connected one route of the Peoples Bus Service with the Numaish Station of the Bus Rapid Transit System — Green Line to facilitate passengers’ travel to Saddar and Clifton areas from the last stop of the federal government’s project.

A spokesman for the Sindh transport department said that the service was made active a couple of days ago through a new route initiated for Clifton and DHA areas.

Initially, he said, the particular route was notified from the Defence Housing Authority and Clifton to Metropole Hotel on the intersection of Sharea Faisal.

“However, keeping in view the public demand and need, it has been expanded to Numaish where it would connect with the Green Line terminal. The passengers can now travel from Numaish station to Seaview (McDonald) via Zaib un Nisa Street, Metropole, Teen Talwaar, Bilawal Chowrangi and Dolmen Mall,” he said.
