  • The smart public transport system will be economical and environment friendly

ISLAMABAD: Prof Dr. Muhammad Zaman, the founder chairman of Department of Sociology, said that ever growing number of vehicles on the roads of Islamabad has given a rapid raise to road congestion and air pollution. Smart Public Transportation is the best solution for these issues.  He was addressing his team in a meeting. Smart public transport system is the major focuses work plan of the university. People of nearly all major cities are using private taxis and car sharing companies like Careem, In Drive, Bykea, Yango and others using smart applications. These services are quite facilitating but are highly overpriced and not affordable for majority of commuters and source of environmental pollution, congestions and long waiting time. The smart public transport system will be economical and environment friendly. Availability of this smart technology-based transport system will attract the commuters. One bus can easily accommodate around 50 passengers. Even if half of the motorbike users and car riders quit using their personal vehicles and start using public transport system, this will bring a notable reduction in number of vehicles on roads. That will result in less congestion, low carbon emission, and economical for general public, said Prof. Zaman.
