The Punjab government, which is governed by the PML-N, plans to provide free transportation on the Orange Line, Metro, and Speedo buses to older citizens, students, and those with disabilities.
Final permission is now awaited by the Mass Transit Authority and the Transport Department.
Which cities are covered?
The free transportation services will make the Metro Bus and Orange Line Train systems accessible for travel in Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi.
A brief description of this welfare program has been sent to the Cabinet Committee on Finance.
Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb will preside over a meeting today where the approval is anticipated to be finalized.
If the program is approved, it will be a major step in the right direction for vulnerable populations’ mobility in Punjab.
