Lahore Metro Bus Service Gets Troublesome For Passengers

Soon after the National Command Operation Centre (NCOC) has issued a permit to resume operations of Metro Bus Service in Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi, the facility has become troublesome for the citizens.

The project of bus rapid transit operating in Lahore was built jointly by Punjab and the Turkish government.

Previously, the government of Punjab suspended the operation of the bus service to stem the spread of coronavirus that had caused a loss of over Rs 120 million in 22 days to the Mass Transit Authority (MTA).
