(Web Desk): Rawalpindi Metro Bus timings changed as service duration reduced under the government’s energy saving plan, with last bus now leaving at 9pm.

The Rawalpindi Metro Bus Service has cut its operating hours by one hour as part of an energy conservation program introduced by the government.

Under the new schedule, the metro bus service will end at 9:00 pm, while stations will remain open until 9:40 pm. The last bus will depart at 9:00 pm from both Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Officials said the decision is part of wider efforts to reduce energy use and manage fuel consumption more efficiently across the country.

Authorities pointed to the global fuel situation, where many countries are facing shortages and long queues at petrol stations. However, they assured that Pakistan’s petroleum supply remains stable and under control.

The government has urged citizens to cooperate with these measures and use energy resources carefully to avoid future problems.

Passengers using the metro service are advised to plan their travel according to the new timings to avoid inconvenience.

The government is trying to save fuel through small changes. Reduced timings may affect daily commuters. Global fuel pressure is influencing local decisions. More such steps may come if situation worsens.
