In a historic stride towards enhancing public transportation in Karachi, the Sindh government has unveiled the much-anticipated “People’s Bus Service.” This transformative addition to Karachi’s transportation network is set to redefine the daily commute for the city’s residents.
Route 3: The Backbone of Convenience for Karachi Commuters
At the heart of the People’s Bus Service lies Route 3, connecting Power House Chowrangi to Shaan Chowrangi, covering a distance of 31 kilometers. This operational route is a game-changer, providing a seamless and efficient mode of travel within the city.
Karachi Red Bus R3 Routes Details:

Elevating the Commute Experience: Enhanced Bus Features

For those who prefer to stand, an additional 40 commuters can be accommodated. The fare for most routes is an affordable PKR 50-100, ensuring accessibility for all. It’s noteworthy that Route 9, which charges PKR 100 after Malir Halt, is an exception.
