Red Bus Karachi (Peoples Bus Service), with air-conditioned buses and priority seating for disabled and elderly passengers, runs on several routes across the city. The red buses serve the general public, while the pink buses are for women only. Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) is a partially revived system that connects key areas and aims to expand with electric trains. Auto rickshaws are widely used for short distances, offering an affordable and quick way to navigate through the city. Rickshaw drivers often park near commercial centres on busy roads. Mad Max-style old-fashioned buses are fascinating to look at and can be considered art, but they aren’t particularly safe, comfortable, or predictable.
