Public transport in Karachi remained largely off the roads on Thursday as transport operators commenced a citywide strike against the electronic traffic challan system, heavy fines, and other regulatory measures. Talks with government representatives failed to yield a breakthrough, leading to the continuation of the strike on Friday. The strike significantly impacted daily commuters, forcing many to seek alternative transportation. Key city arteries saw a drastic reduction in bus services. The Karachi Transport Ittehad cited concerns over excessive financial penalties from the e-challan system, alleged duplication of penalties, delayed subsidies, and issues with vehicle fitness and insurance. While government-run services and ride-hailing platforms operated normally, the strike involved an estimated 8,000 buses and minibuses.
The transport strike in Karachi underscores ongoing tensions between transport operators and authorities over regulatory measures and their financial implications.
