Lahori girls have taken a sigh of relief as they get their Pink transport in the form of Gulabi rickshaw service. They can call the number of gulabi rickshaw and a female driver will come to their door and pick them up and take them to their destination anywhere in the city. This is a great step. Gulabi rickshaw in Karachi, Rawalpindi, and other cities should also be started. The major problem of public transport exist in every city and town of Pakistan. We hardly have any cohesive and nice public transport system especially for the ladies.
You can gauge the bad situation from the fact that only two cities of Pakistan have metro bus system; Lahore and Rawalpindi and that is just for on route. Girls have to go through huge pain to travel in the cities to their schools, colleges, universities and offices. Gulabi Rickshaw Lahore is a huge step in that direction. Girls won’t have to get harassed by the male drivers anymore. They will travel with dignity and without fear. Parents will give permission to their daughters easily to commute from one place to other. This will make the shopping and education easy for the females. That and for the Gulabi rickshaw is also blessing for the ladies who want to earn a decent living. The cost of Gulabi Rickshaw is also very low and it’s available on the installments and also on loan. One hopes that this service gets extended to all over Pakistan.
