The 20 buses, acquired for various schools and colleges in Islamabad, feature a distinctive pink design and will operate in both rural and urban areas of the city.
The initiative will allow female students and teachers in the federal capital to benefit from a new, free bus service to and from educational institutions.
This joint venture between MOFEPT and the district administration aims to tackle the transportation challenges faced by women in accessing educational facilities, addressing the lack of adequate transportation options, particularly for female students and teachers.
These buses will be available for free transportation for female teachers and students, further supporting the government’s efforts to enhance access to education for all.
