This sample video offers a vibrant glimpse into the world of vintage buses that continue to operate in Pakistan, some dating back to 1968. Despite their age, these buses remain a vital part of daily life, connecting towns and villages and serving as a lifeline for countless commuters.

The footage features detailed close-up shots of the intricate decoration work done on these vehicles. From hand-painted floral motifs to mirror work and calligraphy, every inch of the bus—inside and out—is adorned with traditional truck art. These buses are more than just transport; they are moving canvases of cultural expression, lovingly maintained by their owners who invest significant time and money into their upkeep.

Local citizens rely on these buses for daily travel, often journeying long distances between rural and urban areas. Due to overcrowding, it’s common to see passengers riding on the rooftops, clinging to rails and luggage racks to reach their destinations. The scenes reflect both the challenges and the communal spirit of public transport in these regions.

This video is a sample. We also offer the possibility of producing a full-length documentary that captures the entire bus decoration process inside a workshop—where multiple buses and trucks are being transformed by skilled artisans. That extended version would showcase the craftsmanship, tools, and teamwork behind this vibrant tradition, offering viewers a deeper understanding of the art and labor involved.

From the rhythmic sounds of the engine to the colorful interiors filled with tassels, stickers, and devotional imagery, this sample celebrates the fusion of functionality and artistic pride that defines Pakistan’s transport culture.
