KARACHI: Karachi's public transport may not be in its best shape or form but you'd be surprised that still, many prefer to use it as their means of transport.  

According to a survey conducted by the Gallop Survey of Pakistan, 40% of the respondents from Karachi confirmed that they travel on public transport while 60% said they use their own vehicles.

As many as 46% of the respondents who said they preferred public transport were women while only 35% of the respondents who were male said they used public transport as well.
