The Metro Bus Service in Islamabad and Rawalpindi has been suspended on April 11 following administrative directives. The move is linked to ongoing international developments in the federal capital.
The Metro Bus Service Islamabad-Rawalpindi, which had already faced partial restrictions between Saddar Station and PIMS in recent days, is now fully closed for passengers. This sudden shutdown has left many travelers without transport options.
Authorities confirmed that both Islamabad and Rawalpindi have announced a local holiday on April 11. This decision is part of broader administrative and security arrangements in the capital.

Officials said that although public transport is suspended, essential services will continue to operate. These include municipal departments, law enforcement agencies, and utility services.
Hospitals and emergency services will remain fully functional to ensure public safety. Authorities have assured that no disruption will be allowed in critical healthcare facilities.
Residents have been advised to plan their travel in advance due to the suspension. The closure of metro services, offices, and educational institutions may affect daily movement in the twin cities.
This suspension has created inconvenience for daily commuters. Security and administrative reasons are behind the decision. People may face travel difficulties until services resume.
