Metro Bus Project
Islamabad/Rawalpindi
Introduction
The Rawalpindi - Islamabad Metrobus is a 23 km (14.9 mi) bus rapid transit under-construction in the
twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan.
Islamabad is the Capital City of Pakistan and the ninth largest city in the country. Located within the
Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), the population of the city has grown from 100,000 in 1951 to 1.30
million in 2012. The greater Islamabad — Rawalpindi Metropolitan Area is the third largest
conurbation in Pakistan with a population of over 45 million inhabitants.
Project Objective
The Need for MBS

● Twin cities Islamabad and Rawalpindi are growing at a rate of more than 4
percent per annum
● With present growth trends it is expected that the population would
increase up to 7.0 million in next twenty years
● Currently private transport is the major means of mobility between two
cities comprising of Mazda, Toyota Hiace, and Suzuki vans plying on
various routes within and between the two cities.
● Traffic volumes of over 210,000 vehicles ply on three major corridors
connecting two cities carrying around 525,000 passengers.
The Need for MBS
The Need for MBS
● The government will execute this project through Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) It

9th Avenue.
Major items/deliverables of Project
Objective
● Signal Free: The entire length i.e. 8.6 km of Metro Bus corridor in Rawalpindi area shall be elevated structure
whereas about 14 km in Islamabad shall be at-grade but made signal-free by constructing grade separations
at various Intersections.
● Number of Stations: Ten (10) stations in the Rawalpindi Part and fourteen (14) in the Islamabad Part are
provided along the corridor.
● Functional Elements: Functional elements at the stations include ticketing booths, concourse level
passenger transfer, escalators, platform screen doors turnstiles for automatic fare collection and all other
amenities for passenger convenience.
● Central Control Room: A central ITS control room is also included in the project to control the whole operation
of the Metro Bus system.
● Number of Lanes: Initially the provision of a 10 lane Underpass (2 Lanes for Metro Bus and 8 Lanes for mix
traffic) along the 9th Avenue was proposed at Peshawar Mor intersection. Later on, in view of the traffic issues
at Peshawar Mor intersection, ongoing Widening/Rehabilitation of Kashmir Highway & its link with new
Islamabad Airport, it was decided to dovetail the Metro Bus corridor in the interchange already designed by
CDA which will cost Rs . 6.75 Billion. The same will be simultaneously executed with Metro Bus Project.
The Buses
● All Buses have been produced specifically for the Islamabad MBS by Volvo.
● The 'Arctic Buses' hold 108 passengers and are standard for all major Bus Rapid Transit Systems including
the one in Tehran and Istanbul
● Each bus has special seating for Women & Children as well as for Handicapped Persons. All buses are
elevated for easier passenger entry at platforms
Travelling on MBS
● The MBS was completely free for the first month. After that there are standard
charges put in to use.
● The Metro Bus Card and MBS Token can both be used to travel on the MBS.
● Fixed PKR 30 as one-way fare charged to the transporters. It has not changed
despite fluctuations in petrol prices
● Cost of Metrobus card is Rs. 130 which can be returned at Metrobus station, if not

required any more.
● Metro Islamabad transports an estimated 135,000 passengers daily

The Reasons behind
Rawalpindi-lslamabad Metro
Bus Project
● Population Growth of the Capital

● Population Growth of Rawalpindi
● Traffic Burden on Murree Road
● Future Requirements of Islamabad-Rawalpindi
Metropolitan Area
● Requirement of Urban Bus Transport Service
Benefits
• Labor, and some tourists have the same route to commute. Now, they can easily avail
the metro bus service.
• It is not reaching out to colleges, universities, hospitals and offices nearby, so that all
these students could also have availed it instead of some other private transport.
• The MBS is an affordable initiative, which will go a long way in reducing emissions and
traffic volume. It offers safe, reliable and comfortable transport.
1. Support local economies
2. Attract business investments
3. Attract tourism
4. Reduce crime
5. Improve pedestrian safety
6. Increase use of public transportation
7. Improve public transport Improve the environment
Controversies
Serious controversy surrounding project is its annual loss. According to official numbers, a
single bus trip costs 9,100 PKR, while it earns only 2,600 PKR. This incurs a loss of 6,500
PKR each trip. The huge subsidy contributes to a 2 billion PKR loss every year, however
raising the cost of tickets may result in total loss of already dropping passengers.
