Good News: Bike, Car Parking Now Free in Karachi
In a big relief for the people of Pakistan’s largest city, the Sindh government has ended all parking fees on public roads across Karachi.
Now, no one will have to pay for parking on city streets, including 46 major roads and busy shopping areas. This decision was made after a recommendation by Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, who promised to stop the unfair collection of parking fees.
The move is a serious blow to the parking mafia, which had been charging people illegally for years. The Sindh Local Government Department has ordered all 25 towns in Karachi to stop collecting any parking fees on public roads. Only proper parking lots and official parking plazas will be allowed to charge, and only under strict rules.

For people already struggling with high living costs, this change is a welcome relief. Many daily commuters, shoppers, and small business owners are happy with the decision and say it was long overdue.
The Sindh government has asked the public to stay alert and report anyone who still tries to collect fees illegally. Authorities have promised quick legal action against any violations and are following a zero-tolerance policy.
Under this new system, only the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) is allowed to manage parking, and only at approved locations.
The decision has been widely praised on social media and by the public, with many people appreciating the government’s effort to put citizens’ welfare first.
