RAWALPINDI: Rawalpindi is all set to revolutionize its public transportation with the launch of Pakistan’s inaugural fully digital transport system. The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) is driving the project’s software development, which will assist in a new era of efficiency and accountability.
A state-of-the-art control room and e-tag system at the Pirwadhai Bus Terminal will serve as the nerve(main) center, harnessing real-time data on vehicle registration, ownership, and fitness certificates, as well as driver information and route details.
This cutting-edge system, inspired by global models in Paris, London, and the US, will ensure only compliant vehicles exit the terminal, enhancing safety and service standards.
Moreover, the digital platform will also empower citizens to lodge online complaints about public and government transport services, promoting transparency and improvement.
Rashid Ali, Secretary of the Regional Transport Authority (RTA), hailed the initiative as a significant achievement, paving the way for potential expansion to other Punjab cities if successful.
