Traffic jams were witnessed across the city owing to the large amount of flood which had accumulated on Karachi's roads. Citizens were faced with extreme difficulty as public transport was scarce on the road and taxis as well as rickshaws were charging exorbitant amounts due to the rain.

Online transportation services such as Careem and Uber's fares had also increased in order to bring more cars onto the road.

According to a spokesperson of K-Electric, 180 feeders had tripped due to the rain out of which repair work was being done on 20. A post by K-Electric claimed that 'most' of the feeders had been brought back online.
