    Basic Information and Routines:

    Can you describe your daily commute to the office and back home?

    On Daily basis, I usually book a ride on commute apps like Indrive or Yango etc at
    the minimum possible rate and the same routine for the return way except on the way
    back I share a ride with a colleague due to increased traffic at Shahre-Faisal during
    rush hours.

    Choice of Public Transportation:


    Why do you choose to use public transportation for your commute?

    Due to the non-availability of my family car and a spike in fuel prices, I prefer public
    transport as it is convenient concerning availability and affordability.

    Experience with Public Transportation:


    What has been your overall experience with public transportation in Karachi?

    So far , its been a rough journey as it has its own perks and cons. First, I am always
    concerned for my safety and security because of the increasing street crimes. Secondly,
    I don’t have the advantage of my own car to make stops or do daily groceries or chores
    outside of the house as the apps charge a lot for stops and the journey is always
    straight from pickup point to destination. But on the bright side, I save up a good
    chunk of my transportation budget which would have cost me a lot on my own car.

    Safety and Comfort:


    Do you feel safe while using public transportation? Have you ever felt uncomfortable or
    faced any challenges?

    I feel safe when someone is with me sharing the journey otherwise I always feel scared
    that I will get my phone stolen or the worst case scenario can get shot down during
    snatching.

    Harassment and Security Measures:


    Have you or someone you know ever experienced harassment on public
    transportation? How was it handled?

    Yes, my aunt faced a very scary snatching and harassment incident. The rickshaw driver
    tried to take her to a really secluded area, From which she escaped by screaming and
    gathering the attention of the locals in that area. I always get chills thinking about this
    incident
    Timing and Accessibility:
    How do the public transport schedules align with your university/work schedule?

    I usually order my rickshaw at my convenience as the public buses are always fully
    packed during my traveling hours.

    Impact of Public Transportation on Daily Life:


    How does commuting by public transportation impact your daily life, both positively
    and negatively?

    On the positive aspect, I reach the office early by using a cab service as compared to
    public buses which usually cost me a lot higher at the same time.

    Gender-Specific Services:
    Are you aware of any gender-specific transportation services, like pink buses, in
    Karachi? Would you consider using them?

    Not really, I usually avoid traveling in buses as they are very crowded and full of very
    weird creeps that can lead to certain unwanted or inappropriate situations.

    Improvements and Suggestions:


    What improvements would you like to see in the public transportation system in
    Karachi?

     More efficient live tracking of buses and cab service


     Student/Job discounts Monthly Basis or make free for students as provided in
    Europe
     Separation of Genders in Buses
     Female drivers for Cab/Bike services in Apps

    Decision-Making Factors:
    What factors would influence you to change your current mode of transportation?
    The hike in fuel prices OR if I able to arrange my mode of transport.

    Final Thoughts:
    Is there anything else about your experience with public transportation that you think
    is important to share?

    I think there is a lot of effort the Government can put into providing better options to
    the public by utilizing all the possibilities and by gathering more sponsors and investors
    to make transport clean, safe and secure for women as well as make suitable
    restrictions and policies.
