The Metro Bus service in Islamabad has been partially suspended today, according to official announcements, affecting thousands of daily commuters across the federal capital. Authorities confirmed that Metro Bus operations within Islamabad will remain closed for the day, while limited services will continue in Rawalpindi.
Officials stated that the suspension applies to the Islamabad section of the Metro Bus route. As a result, passengers traveling within the capital are advised to make alternative travel arrangements to avoid inconvenience.
Despite the suspension in Islamabad, Metro Bus services in Rawalpindi will continue to operate on a limited schedule. According to the authorities, buses will run between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM, allowing commuters to travel between Saddar Station and Faizabad during the specified operating hours.
However, the section from IJP Road Station to Pak Secretariat Station will remain completely closed throughout the day. This closure is expected to impact office workers, students, and regular passengers who rely on the Metro Bus for daily transportation.
Authorities have not disclosed the exact reason behind the temporary suspension but stated that the decision was taken due to operational and administrative arrangements. Officials also urged passengers to stay updated through official announcements regarding the restoration of normal Metro Bus services.
Commuters are encouraged to use alternative transportation options such as public buses, ride-hailing services, or private vehicles where possible. Travelers should also plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays and inconvenience during the temporary disruption.
The Metro Bus system remains one of the most important public transportation services in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Any interruption in service significantly affects thousands of passengers who depend on it for affordable and reliable daily commuting.
