Detailed Report
The Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metrobus service has revised its operating hours as part of the government’s ongoing energy conservation measures, reducing one hour from its nightly schedule.
According to the updated timetable, metro bus operations will now conclude at 9:00 pm, with the last buses departing simultaneously from both Rawalpindi and Islamabad. However, metro stations will remain open until 9:40 pm to facilitate passengers.
The decision comes amid broader efforts by the government to curb energy consumption and manage fuel usage more efficiently. Officials have linked the move to global fuel challenges, noting that several countries are currently experiencing shortages and long queues at petrol stations.

Commuters have been urged to plan their travel accordingly and cooperate with the revised schedule, as the government continues to emphasize responsible energy use across sectors.
The metro bus system serves as a vital transport link between Rawalpindi and Islamabad, carrying thousands of passengers daily, and any changes to its schedule are expected to impact routine commuters.
