Islamabad: The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MOFEPT) has unveiled a pink bus initiative aimed at addressing the transportation challenges encountered by rural girls and female teachers commuting to urban areas of the capital.

As part of this initiative, 20 functional buses have been acquired from various schools and colleges of Islamabad. These buses, carefully selected with two buses drawn from larger colleges and one from smaller schools/colle­ges, have been temporarily stationed at the premises of Islamabad College for Girls F-6/2 for the rebranding process.
