The Green Line runs in mixed traffic along the Srinagar Highway and Murree Road, linking PIMS with the Bhara Kahu side of the capital past Lake View Park. Like the Blue Line, it has no separate card system yet — CDA has announced a unified KentKart-based ticketing system for the newer lines, which had not launched at the time of writing.
🎟️ Fare
The fare is Rs 100 per ride. CDA launched the electric services at a flat Rs 50 in 2024 and raised fares to Rs 100 in its 2026 fare revision, citing operating costs; the Red Line Metrobus fare is set separately by the Punjab Masstransit Authority and was not part of that increase.
⏰ Timings
Buses run from about 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, in line with Islamabad’s metro network hours. Buses climb the Murree Road corridor from Aabpara towards Bhara Kahu, so allow extra time at peak hours.
