Very beautiful and artistic exteriors and interiors. Charming and lively. I only wish they (sub continent people) also consider and insist on the safety and enviornment factor/aspects such as Air bags and ABS, Common Rail transmission for fuel efficiency and in general drive being considerate to the other people driving on the roads. Everything will be cool then.

Is there anyone who may make them understand that no matter how beautifully decorated these mini buses are but its too horrible from inside. One may realize this only after travelling in it. The height of these buses from inside has been so small that even a person of normal height can't even stand therein. Further the seats have been very uncomfortable and these mini buses have hardly window glasses. Is there any Minister who can look into this matter and provide comfort to the citizens???

Instead of spending thousands of rupees on the decoration, it is better to build the body lower to the ground, have proper 'fitness' and ample leg space and / or more space for people to stand (if in shorter routes and within Karachi city) .. no point decorating the bus and make it an uncomfortable travel for the passenger
