The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has given 14 pink buses to several Peshawar-area colleges for women. Details indicate that these buses were presents given to the provincial administration in 2018.Pink buses were suggested by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Ghulam Ali for several Peshawar colleges.

The facility is designed to make young female students’ journeys more convenient. The female students have praised this action, according to a media report, saying that their “lives have been spared” from the rickshaws and that they may now ride safely on the pink bus.

According to the article, the buses were given to the provincial administration in 2018 as part of a different initiative. Unfortunately, the project was never started, leaving the buses stuck in the depot. Finally, the interim administration has a purpose for these buses. It is unclear, however, if this facility will remain exclusive to Peshawar in the future or if it will also be made available in other parts of KP.
