Today evening I was going to
Faiza Abad from Blue Area. As usual I went to Shaheed-e-Millat station and found a huge crowed
waiting for ticket in que for metro bus. Thank for the card that I have
already charged otherwise I had to wait in que for hours to get a yellow round
ticket. Anyway, I moved forward and reached to the corridor from where I had to get on bus. There I found another long line of passengers waiting to enter
the bus as it reaches after each five minutes.There some people whispered that the duration has also been increased from 5 minutes. Hence resulting the rush in every bus.
Moreover, this was not the
only situation at this station. In the next consecutive stations the
situation got worst and worst. I observed the rush more than in each previous station.
The number of passenger entering to the
bus was proportionally greater than the exit.
I remained seatless as there was no empty seat . The number of people inside the bus reached to its maximum
and no space remained among passenger's crowed inside. Even I was unable to move but
was standing statically.
Finally ,my destination
station "Faiza Abad " reached near and I started to move toward the bus gat. This
time it was more difficult job because no one was willing to give me a space so
that I can move out. I made a request to surrounding people that for God's sake let me
to go and also made some pushes to create a way to escape. Hardly I have succeeded to get out form the bus.
This time I felt that the travel
in metro-bus is now no more a respectable journey. Although I accept the many other positive aspects of metro project
but the insult of passenger while getting a ticket is on its highest level these
days.
I’m reporting the whole
story not because I have faced the problem myself but this is the story of each
individual passenger who used to travel in metro bus. The system seems failed to
provide a comfortable travel and good transportation experience.
I on behalf all the other citizen of
the twin cities, request to government that kindly pay an attention to this
very basic problem that has created a big tension among masses.
I think that the only way to resolve this problem by increasing the number of busses as the current busses cannot fulfill the need of population.
More over, this crowded travel is the cause of many ethical problem.
It has been been reported that male and female pocket cutters are also taking the advantage of rushe inside the bus and have looted many individuals.
Another dark side is this that due to rushe the male passengers often take the area and seats which are reserved for female. This is totally an unethical action. The metro bus administration should seriously take this matter in consideration.
