Marir Hassan Metro Station, also written as Marrir Chowk station, is one of the busiest stops on the Rawalpindi side of the metro bus network. It sits on Murree Road in Rawalpindi, right at the well-known Marrir Hassan Chowk, and it serves thousands of daily commuters travelling between Saddar and Islamabad. If you live, work or shop anywhere along Murree Road, this station is probably the easiest way to get on the metro bus without going all the way to Saddar terminal.
The station belongs to the Red Line, the original metro bus route that runs between Pak Secretariat in Islamabad and Saddar in Rawalpindi. The Red Line covers around 22.5 kilometres and serves 24 stations, and Marir Hassan is the second-last stop before the Saddar terminal. That position makes it very handy: you can board here for a short hop into Saddar’s markets, or ride the full route towards Faizabad, PIMS and Blue Area in Islamabad.
Where Exactly Is Marir Hassan Station?
You will find the station at Marrir Hassan Chowk on Murree Road, in the Saddar area of Rawalpindi. Coming from Islamabad, it is the stop right after Liaquat Bagh and just before Saddar terminal, so listen for the announcements and be ready to get off quickly. The area around the station is a busy commercial strip, with shops, banks and local transport links all within easy walking distance.
For anyone travelling in the other direction, Marir Hassan is a convenient boarding point if Saddar terminal itself feels too crowded. Buses heading towards Islamabad pass through Liaquat Bagh, Committee Chowk, Waris Khan, Chandni Chowk and Rehmanabad before reaching Faizabad and the Islamabad section of the route. In short, one ride from here connects you to almost the whole twin-city metro network.
Timings, Fare and Travel Tips
The Red Line generally runs from early morning, around 6:15 AM, until around 10:00 PM, with buses arriving every few minutes during busy hours. Timings can change on public holidays or during special events, so it is always wise to check the current schedule at the station before an important trip. The fare on the Red Line is a small flat fare: older guides list it at Rs 30, while some 2026 guides list around Rs 50, so confirm the current fare at the station ticket counter before you travel.
Travelling from Marir Hassan is simple. Buy a token or use a metro bus card at the station, pass through the turnstiles, and board a bus heading in your direction. Keep your token safe until you exit, and avoid peak hours if you can, because the Murree Road stations get very crowded in the morning and evening. If you are heading to Saddar, it is only one stop away, while a trip to Faizabad or PIMS takes noticeably longer, so plan your time accordingly.
Why Commuters Use This Station
Marir Hassan station matters because it serves a dense part of Rawalpindi that would otherwise depend entirely on wagons and rickshaws. Students, shopkeepers, office workers and families all use it daily, and its spot between Liaquat Bagh and Saddar means it catches passengers from both sides of Murree Road. For visitors, it is also a useful landmark: if someone tells you to meet them at Marrir Chowk, the metro station is right there, and the rest of the city is one bus ride away.
