Pakistan's first motorcycle taxi service launches in Islamabad

used to be 250rs in 2004.

I am talking about a decade later .

If you have 1500 students that want to go to university , you need 1500 Motor bikes burning fuel
Vs 15 buses carrying 1500 students in 20 minute ride, in AC. Un Effected by rain

Buses offer more efficient means to carry large group

The extra bike taxi will just add to clutter on road causing more traffic jams

Now lets expand this example
30,000 workers need to go to work in morning , would need 30,000 bikes to transport them
vs same can be done with 3,000 Buses.

3000 buses vs 30,000 more clutter on road

The impact would also be on the usage of Fuel by city (3,000 Buses vs 30,000 Bikes)

I don't think you have experienced these things first hand. Firstly students don't always travel in packs(1500 students on bikes, like seriously? ), secondly its not that all offices and universities are located at one place. People travel according to their needs and area, there are areas in Isb where all sorts of public transportation isn't available, especially buses, heck you cant even find cabs easily.

What a bad Idea. You can use autoriksha instead of two wheelers

^then how do most people commute ? vans ? or personal vehicles ?

 

[Gentelman]

You can go to some distant place not in 300 but for 100
And can go to some near place in 40-50 rather than paying not less than 100.....
Its a sucess for all the guys who else use taxis.....

Unfortunately Buses are the only solution that run between stops every 30 minutes

Charging $2 , comes to 160 Rupees

International Standard is $1-4 range, Pakistan people are only feeling the crunch due to national debt (currency is too low )

If our national Debt is reduced hopefully these figures would become more realistic but motor bikes don't help with congestion on road and fuel wastage

For Universities/Schools or Work place centers such large vehicles are deployed for maximum revenue collection from commuters & least amount of fuel

Easily transport 300-500 people in 1 load , reducing 300-500 cars on road

Just 6 of these Buses can take 2500-3500 people vs 6 Bikes will transport 6 people

The olds RXes were great bikes. I loved my GTO too, but the time for two strokes is now in the past. I would not mind a new Grom now.
