Public transportation networks in Mumbai and Karachi have faced major service shutdowns caused by worker strikes and disagreements over government regulations.

孟買與卡拉奇的公共交通網絡，因工人罷工及對政府法規的分歧，而面臨嚴重的服務中斷。

In Mumbai, the BEST transport system almost completely stopped operating on June 20, 2026, during the second day of an indefinite strike. Data shows a severe shortage of staff; for example, only 37 out of 3,076 scheduled drivers reported for work. Because both company-owned and leased buses were unavailable, the government had to provide 60 state buses to help students reach their NEET exams. The workers' union is demanding that leased staff be hired permanently, that the city buy 5,000 new buses, and that the BEST budget be integrated with the municipal corporation. In response, the administration used the Essential Services Maintenance Act (MESMA), which led to twenty-three arrests after reports of vandalism and the blocking of vehicles.

在孟買，BEST 交通系統於 2026 年 6 月 20 日，即無限期罷工的第二天，幾乎完全停止運作。數據顯示人手嚴重短缺；例如，在 3,076 名排班司機中，僅 37 名到職。由於公司自有與租賃巴士均無法使用，政府不得不提供 60 輛州政府巴士，以協助學生參加 NEET 考試。工人工會要求將租賃員工轉為正式員工、要求市府採購 5,000 輛新巴士，並要求將 BEST 的預算與市政府整合。對此，行政部門引用了《基本服務維持法》(MESMA)，在接獲蓄意破壞及阻攔車輛的報告後，導致 23 人被捕。

Similarly, disruptions occurred in Karachi, where the Karachi Transport Ittehad (KTI) organized a citywide strike. This action was caused by the high cost of electronic traffic fines, new biometric requirements for transferring vehicle ownership, and mandatory insurance costs. Negotiations between the KTI and the Deputy Inspector General of Traffic ended without an agreement, as the official emphasized that he did not have the authority to cancel electronic penalties. Consequently, the lack of available buses has forced commuters to use more expensive alternative transport, showing a continuing deadlock between operators and city regulators.

同樣地，卡拉奇也發生了交通中斷，由卡拉奇交通聯盟 (KTI) 組織了一次全市規模的罷工。此次行動是由於電子交通罰單成本過高、轉讓車輛所有權需要新的生物識別認證，以及強制性保險成本所引起。KTI 與交通副總監之間的談判在未達成協議的情況下結束，因為該官員強調他沒有權限取消電子罰款。因此，由於缺乏可用巴士，迫使通勤者使用更昂貴的替代交通工具，顯示出營運商與城市監管部門之間持續僵持。

Both cities are currently experiencing limited mobility because the involved parties cannot agree on financial and administrative demands.

由於相關各方無法在財務與行政要求上達成共識，兩座城市目前的移動能力均受到限制。
