Rawalpindi-Islamabad
Metrobus
Idea and Motivation of the Project

Population Growth of The Capital
The capital city of Pakistan Islamabad is the ninth largest
city in the country. The population of the city has grown from
100,000 in 1951 to 1.30 million in 2012. Since its foundation,
Islamabad has attracted people from all over Pakistan,
making it one of the most cosmopolitan and urbanized cities
of Pakistan and center of economic and service activities
which attract people from all over the country
The system uses e-ticketing and Intelligent Transportation System. The system is managed by the
Punjab Metrobus Authority (PMBA) with the IT section is being carried out with Punjab IT Board
coordination .
Idea and Motivation cont

Population Growth of Rawalpindi
Adjacent to the Southern edge of Islamabad lies the city of
Rawalpindi. t is situated in the North Eastern part of the
Potohar Plateau in North Punjab. Being Headquarter of
Rawalpindi Division and a close neighbor of the Federal
Capital, Islamabad, the population of Rawalpindi City has
rapidly increased over the years

Traffic Burden on Murree Road
Murree Road is one of the busiest and most preferred link between
the twin cities due to its shorter length and direct approach.
During the last few years there has been an unprecedented
increase in vehicular traffic in the city, especially along Murree
Road, resulting in severe traffic congestion on this route. This
congestion causes excessive delays, environmental pollution and
associated socio-economic problems for the daily commuters.
Public transport is one of the major contributors in the traffic mix
and the quality of service being provided is of poor standard.

Future Requirements of Islamabad-Rawalpindi Metropolitan
Area
The greater Islamabad Rawalpindi Metropolitan Area is the third
largest conurbation in Pakistan with a population of over 4.5 million
inhabitants. The Twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are growing
at a rate of more than 4 percent per anum, indicating a higher than
national growth due to significant migration. With present growth
trends it is expected that the population would increase to 7.0 million
in twenty years time. Since both cities have grown into each other,
significant amount of commuting takes place between the two cities.

Requirement of Urban Bus Transport Service
Currently private transport is the major means of mobility between two cities
comprising of Mazda, Toyota Hiace, and Suzuki vans plying on various routes
within and between the two cities. There is no organized urban bus transport
service operating in the city and between cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Level of service offered by the minibuses is far below any acceptable
standard. Traffic volumes of over 210,000 vehicles ply on three major corridors
connecting both the cities carrying around 525,000 passengers. It is estimated
that public transport demand of around 153,000 passengers is available on
daily basis between the two cities. Interestingly this passenger demand is
concentrated around a corridor which is of high density and strategically
located to provide for reasonable patronage for a rapid transit system

Joint decision by The Federal and Provisional Governments
Based on studies conducted by Government of Punjab and Capital Development
Authority, the two governments (Federal & Provincial) joined hands to launch a Metro
Bus project to connect the twin cities and alleviate the traffic congestion on this corridor.
In a meeting held in Lahore on 19 thJanuary 2014, co-chaired by the Prime Minister of
Pakistan and the Chief Minister of Punjab, it was decided that the project shall be funded
on 50:50 sharing basis by the Federal Government & Government of the Punjab. As the
Punjab Government has already completed successfully a similar Metro Bus project in
Lahore, Prime Minister of Pakistan decided that the Provincial Government will execute
this project through Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) as the single executing
agency for both parts of the project. It will work in close coordination with the Capital
Development Authority (CDA) for the Islamabad Part of the project. Punjab Metrobus
Authority (PMA) will control the operation & maintenance of the project after its
completion. PMA will also coordinate with CDA at O&M stage of the projec

Methodology adopted in the Project

The Metro Bus service Rawalpindi-Islamabad consists of approximately
23 km that starts from flash man hotel Rawalpindi and end at prime
minster secretariat Islamabad. The project has been divided into two
parts i-e
Rawalpindi
Islamabad
The Rawalpindi part is further divided into three packages i-e
Package I (Flash man Hotel to committee chowk)
Package II (Committee Chowk to sixth road)
Package III (Sixth road to IJP road Rawalpindi)
The Islamabad Corridor of MBS starts from end of Faizabad
interchange at IJP Road at this point. It runs in between at-grade

and takes right turn on 9th Avenue. Along Ninth Avenue
(Islamabad) crosses Kashmir Highway and turns to Jinnah Avenue
and ends at Civil Secretariat. The total length of MBS Islamabad
will be 13.6 km. The Islamabad part has been further divided into
five packages
Package I: Faizabad to Peshawar Modr 4.4 km

Package II: Interchange Peshawar Modr 1.1 km
Package III: Peshawar Modr to Centaurus 2.9 km
Package IV: Centaurus to Shaheed-e-Millat 3.1 km
Package V: Shaheed-e-Millat to Secretariat 2.156 km
Methodology cont
Meetings and discussions were held among the members of the EIA
consulting team, design engineers and proponent. This activity was
aimed at achieving a common ground of understanding of various
issues of the study.
Planning was carried out to assess data requirements and their
sources; time schedules and responsibilities for their collection;
logistics and facilitation needs for the execution of the data acquisition
plan.
Primary and secondary data were gathered through observations
during the field survey, environmental monitoring in the field,
concerned departments and published materials to establish baseline
profile for physical, biological and socio-economic environmental
conditions.
Methodology cont
The impacts of the project on the physical, biological and

socio-economic environment prevalent in the project area
were visualized at the design, construction and operational
phases.
The adequate mitigation measures and implementation
mechanisms were proposed so that the proponent could
incorporate them beforehand in the design phase.
Was the Project Successful or

Not?
Project delayed for 6 months due to different resons but
