Before you travel: Faizabad is often closed with containers during protests and sit-ins, and the Metro Bus between Saddar and Faizabad can be suspended at short notice. If there is a protest in the twin cities, check the Metro Bus helpline or its official social media pages before setting out.
Faizabad is one of the 24 stations on the Red Line, the first and busiest corridor of the Rawalpindi–Islamabad Metro Bus. The line opened in 2015 and links Saddar in Rawalpindi with Pak Secretariat in Islamabad over 23 km. Of that distance, 8.6 km is elevated, 10 km runs at road level and 4 km runs in a trench through Islamabad's Blue Area. Faizabad sits on the elevated Rawalpindi section, just before the line comes down to road level at IJP Road.
It is also one of the busiest stops on the line. At Faizabad many passengers change between the Metro, the intercity bus stands and local wagons heading to other parts of the twin cities.
Faizabad Metro Station is on Murree Road at the Faizabad Interchange, the large cloverleaf junction where Murree Road, the Islamabad Expressway and the Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed Road meet. Over 100,000 vehicles pass this interchange every day, which makes it one of the main entry and exit points between Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
On the Rawalpindi side the Red Line runs on an elevated track above Murree Road, so you reach the platform by stairs or escalator from street level.
