Parents in a fix as govt suspends transport service in FG schools

On the eve of the new academic year, the Federal Ministry of Education on Tuesday temporarily suspended all transport services in FG schools in Islamabad, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday. 

According to details, parents have expressed deep concern over the suspension of school transportation, fearing it will affect their children's education and daily routine.

The parents demanded that the government take measures to immediately resolve this issue on a priority basis.

The Federal Ministry of Education decided to suspend the school bus service due to rising petrol prices.

Earlier in Khyber Pukhtonkhawa, most school van and bus operators have decided to suspend their services because CNG is unavailable, while public transporters who have switched to petrol have sharply increased fares, adding to the financial burden on citizens.
