Hustle of Metro Bus fades after withdrawal of free service

[UmarJustice]

People who rushed to Metro Bus Service to enjoy for free ride started avoiding the travel after it started charging fares and thin hustle was witnessed on first day of ending without charge service on Monday.

It should be mentioned that Punjab government has decided to charge Rs 20 as fare from every passenger of Metro Bus. The Provincial Government withdrew the facility of one month free travelling in Metro Bus and to impose fare to eliminate free recreational riders.

According to sources, nominal fare of Rs 20 will be charged from every passenger using Metro Bus Service from Gajju Mata to Shahdara.

20 Rupees is still a cheap mode of transportation dirt cheap

Rate of ticket in North America is 200 Ruppees to 300 Rupees per travel destination (By currency conversion)

What about day passes, weekly and monthly passes
Rs 20 is per stop is ok but from one end to other is very cheap, good for people

 

[Edevelop]

Why didn't they just lowered the price and then slowly increased the price to Rs. 20 it would have been better, people would have gotten the time to adjust to the changes.

These kind of projects are not required right now, the only thing required in Pakistan today is Education. The education should be made common throughout Pakistan & strict laws should be made for each & every person to have proper education.

Today education is the only solution to solve almost all the problems of Pakistan, these metro buses & cheap bread schemes etc. are only cheap ways to buy votes.

The only thing that is needed to save & develop Pakistan is proper & good education.

And this is what the corrupt & incompetent politicians don't want to develop because of their own corrupt personal interests.

Before implementing the free service...........those idiots must had think about our society's mentality.....this is how they work...they develop projects to get just votes...and then after developing mold them and waste money.
