The change takes effect on November 2, requiring passengers to use alternative stops along the PIMS Hospital–Media Chowk route.
Passengers using Islamabad’s EX-16 feeder bus service will need to adjust their travel plans after seven stops were removed from the route.
The Capital Mass Transit Wing (CMTW) has announced that buses will no longer stop at the following locations from Monday, November 2, 2026:
- Fazal-e-Haq Road
- H-8
- Zia Masjid
- Fazaia
- Gangal
- Koral Town
- Pagh Chowk
The EX-16 service operates between PIMS Hospital and Media Chowk, connecting several areas along the route.
Passengers who regularly use the affected stops have been advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative stops to reach their destinations.
The authority has also apologised to commuters for the inconvenience caused by the change.
The removal of these stops may affect daily travel for residents, students and employees who depend on the feeder bus service for commuting.
Passengers are advised to confirm their nearest available stop before travelling.
