Karachi residents were left shocked when an 11-Year-Old child spotted behind the wheel of a passenger bus in Defence Phase 8. The alarming incident has raised serious concerns about road safety, law enforcement, and public accountability in the city.
The incident occurred near 16th Street, Creek Vista, where the child, estimated to be between 10 and 11 years old, was seen operating a passenger coach. A vigilant citizen captured the moment on camera, showing the child confidently driving the bus with registration number PE 0147. Social media quickly shared the footage, sparking outrage and widespread debate.
This is not an isolated concern. Karachi has already witnessed multiple bus-related accidents this year, resulting in 32 fatalities. The 11-Year-Old child spotted driving a large vehicle highlights negligence by both the bus owner and law enforcement authorities. Many citizens have criticized the police for failing to take timely action, allowing such dangerous situations to occur.
Photos and videos suggest that neither the child nor the bus owner feared any immediate legal consequences or the threat of an e-challan. Citizens are now demanding strict legal action against the bus owner to ensure such reckless acts do not repeat. The public emphasizes that accountability is essential to prevent future tragedies.
Experts and local authorities warn that allowing children to operate heavy vehicles poses extreme risks to passengers, pedestrians, and other road users. The 11-Year-Old child spotted driving in a busy urban area underscores the urgent need for stricter monitoring and stricter enforcement of traffic laws in Karachi.
The incident has sparked a city-wide discussion about road safety, child protection, and law enforcement effectiveness. Citizens continue to call for swift action, including fines, suspensions, and increased monitoring of bus operators, to prevent further incidents that endanger lives on Karachi’s busy streets.
