Sindh Minister for Transport and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Memon, has announced the expansion of the Pink People's Bus Service in Karachi with the addition of two new routes, aiming to improve transportation facilities for women. The Pink Bus Service, which currently operates on the R1 route from Model Colony Malir to Tower via Shahrah-e-Faisal, is set to extend its reach with the introduction of two new routes. In a recent meeting chaired by Sharjeel Memon to review the launch arrangements for new transport projects in Karachi and Mirpurkhas, it was decided that the new routes of the Pink Bus Service would be inaugurated on April 19. The first new route, labeled R10, will be exclusively for women and will commence from Numaish Chowrangi, traversing through prominent landmarks such as M.A Jinnah Road, Zaibunissa Street, Metropol, Do Talwar, Teen Talwar, Mazar e Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Dolman Mall, and concluding at Sea View clock tower.

This announcement follows earlier initiatives by the Sindh government to expand and improve public transportation services in the province. On March 18, Minister Memon had unveiled plans for new routes of the Pink Bus Service and the launch of the People's Bus Service in Mirpurkhas following Eidul Fitr.
