Intercity public transport services between Lahore, Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have been suspended, according to a travel advisory issued on October 11. Motorways remain open to light transport vehicles, with access restricted to private cars under the reported arrangements.
The suspension is expected to affect passengers travelling between Punjab, the federal capital and KP. People who depend on intercity buses and other public transport services may face delays or need to change their travel plans.
Private motorists can continue using permitted motorway routes, subject to any new restrictions announced by the authorities. Travellers should remain alert to official updates before starting their journeys.
The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) issued the advisory amid changing weather conditions and roadwork on parts of the motorway network.
According to the advisory, rain was reported on sections of the M-2 motorway between Chakri and Kot Momin. Meanwhile, cloudy conditions were reported on parts of the M-1 motorway between Peshawar and Islamabad.
Some motorway lanes were also closed because of ongoing roadwork. These conditions may affect traffic flow and increase travel times on certain routes.
Passengers planning to travel between Lahore, Islamabad and KP should confirm their bus services before leaving home. They are advised to contact their transport companies or terminal operators for the latest operational information.
Travellers should avoid making unnecessary trips to bus terminals without confirming their departures. Those with urgent travel plans may need to consider alternative arrangements, depending on available services and official restrictions.
Private car owners should also check the latest motorway conditions before departure. They should follow traffic instructions, observe road signs and remain cautious when driving through areas affected by rain or construction work.
The current restrictions may change as authorities review road conditions and security arrangements. Motorists should not assume that all motorway routes will remain accessible throughout the day.
The suspension of Public Transport services highlights the importance of checking official travel advisories before undertaking long-distance journeys. Passengers travelling across Punjab, Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should stay informed about possible changes to transport operations.
The National Highways and Motorway Police remains an important source of updates regarding motorway conditions and traffic restrictions. Travellers should follow its latest announcements and confirm their routes before setting out.
