Students of H-8 college face acute transport problem

Islamabad
Islamabad Model Postgraduate College H-8 is the oldest and biggest college in Islamabad but getting transport facility is a herculean task in this college because of its insufficient transport facility that does not meet the demand of increasing number of students in the college.
This college has an enrolment of as many as 2,000 students in various disciplines from intermediate to Master Degree level.
Around 500 students apply for the college bus facility every year out of which 200 students avail this facility and rest of 300 students mere decline this facility because there are only 3 buses in the college and the college cannot ply on all the routes of Islamabad.
Even the students that live on the scheduled routes of the buses cannot be provided with bus facility because one bus can accommodate only as many as 52 students.
Whereas many as 500 students apply for the bus facility. The pressure for bus facility is mounting up but the administration of college cannot cope up with this situation. This college offers coeducation classes at B.com, M.A English and M.Sc Geography. The admissions of BA/B.Sc, B.Com part-I and MA/M.Sc are in process.
After completion of admissions in degree and master classes, the pressure for the facility will increase, particularly from girls.
In already packed buses, how can girls students can be accommodated in these insufficient buses. This will be a big challenge for the college administration.
One of the buses plies on the Khanna Pul - Tramri route from the college, and this bus facility has been availed by 85 students whereas it has a 52 seating capacity. Lack of proper ventilation in bus, increase the chances of suffocation. Many of those students can be seen hanging dangerously from doors. Over-crowded bus is prone to any mishap and accident which might lead to the loss of lives or injuries to the students. There is more pressure on old tyres and brakes of the buses with such a heavy load. Sikandar, a student of 1st year said, “ I find it very difficult to travel in such a suffocated bus and then focus on studies in my college.”
