Islamabad:The Islamabad Transport Authority has issued guidelines for public service vehicles (PSV) in the Federal Capital to ensure safe and fair services. These new guidelines focussed on passenger safety, prioritisation of vulnerable commuters, and curbing overcharging and violations, said the spokesman of ICT administration here.
These guidelines were included that all the public transport vehicles must have their fitness certificates and route permits displayed clearly on the front glass, while, both the front and back glass of rental cars must clearly show signage indicating their status as rental vehicles.
Similarly, women and senior citizens should be given priority seating at the front of public transport vehicles. Furthermore, vehicles were required to complete their assigned routes as per the route permit.
Any failure to do so would result in legal action against the relevant transport coordinator (Adda Munshi). Meanwhile, the vehicles equipped with CNG cylinders must obtain a Cylinder Pass Certificate from stations approved by OGRA to ensure safe operations. And the drivers must adhere to the proper road lanes and designated routes while operating their vehicles.
