A notable aspect of the People’s Bus Service is Route 10, which spans 27.8 kilometers from Numaish Chowrangi to Ibrahim Hyderi. This route passes through significant landmarks and essential destinations, linking the city center with the coastal areas.

With convenient and cost-effective transportation, the People’s Bus Service aims to transform how residents of Karachi navigate the bustling city environment.
