Motorway Police Eid Travel Advisory for Bus Operators and Passengers

The Motorway Police has issued an Eid travel advisory for passengers and bus operators ahead of the Eid ul Fitr holidays. Authorities expect heavy traffic as thousands of people travel across the country. Therefore, officials have announced strict measures to ensure safe and fair travel. The advisory also warns transporters against overcharging and overcrowding passengers.

Safety Measures for Transport Operators

The instructions follow directives from Additional IG Munir Ahmed Sheikh and DIG Syed Fareed Ali. According to the National Highways and Motorway Police, authorities will closely monitor transport services during the Eid travel rush.
Officials have warned bus owners not to charge fares higher than approved rates. In addition, operators must avoid carrying passengers beyond the permitted capacity. Authorities stressed that safety rules apply to all vehicles using national highways.
Strict action will follow any violation. For example, buses carrying passengers on rooftops will face legal penalties. Similarly, vehicles with overcrowded passengers will not receive permission to enter highways. As a result, authorities hope these measures will reduce accidents and ensure safer journeys.

Guidance for Passengers During Eid Travel

The Eid travel advisory also encourages passengers to stay alert during travel. Motorway Police have asked travelers to report any overcharging or overcrowding immediately. People can contact the helpline 130 or call the South Zone number 021-99333336.
In addition, transport companies must arrange two drivers for long-distance routes. This rule helps prevent driver fatigue during long journeys. Drivers must also follow speed limits and traffic laws.
Authorities believe these steps will improve travel safety during the busy Eid period. However, cooperation from passengers and transport operators remains essential. Responsible behavior on the road can help everyone reach their destination safely.
