Owing to poor transport facilities, the commuters of the twin cities have been facing great difficulties in reaching their destinations. A survey carried out by INP reveals that a large number of people could be seen waiting for vehicles at various public transport stops. Moreover, vehicles are packed with passengers more than capacity. The private and government employees come across great difficulties in reaching their offices in time owing to poor public transport facilities in the twin cities. On the other hand, taxi drivers are fleecing people on the pretext of running it on petrol, especially during three days of CNG stations’ closure under the government’s load management schedule. Female passengers suffer the most as they have to wait for hours at public transport stops due to low number of seats reserved for female commuters.
