Presently, there are just 27 point buses to cater the needs of some 28000 students and teachers, and the Campus requires at least 80 more buses to facilitate its students, faculty and non-teaching staff.
Incharge Transport Committee, University of Karachi, Zulqarnain Shadab said that presently there were just 34 point buses and just 27 were in working order.Presently, there is one bus to serve more than 1000 students, he said.
The administration realises that the issue of point buses should be taken into consideration but somehow they failed in satisfying the students in this regard.
The administration said that as in the past a number of students had died and injured after falling from these overcrowded buses so there is a need to increase the number of points buses to facilitate students.
But unfortunately there are a number of such promises made by the administration of the Campus after every bad incident ,but the matter is still unsolved.
The students of Karachi University have a lot of complaints about the point buses."It is not at all safe to travel in these shabby point buses, as they are dangerously overcrowded and recklessly driven," said the students.
In spite of so many problems,students still use point buses to travel as it charges reasonable amount of money as compared to public transport..
But the question arises..
Whats the solution??
yes these points cost nothing but are really heavily loaded, thats why the incidents occurs. they cost us only 3 rs but public transport may cost us more than 30 (one way) if we take 2 busses.
