Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif announced the start of Metro Bus service from Islamabad-Peshawar Morr to the airport in five days.
According to ARY News, PM Shehbaz Sharif has directed completion of the requisite arrangements for running the metro bus, which will be a big relief to the people coming to Islamabad airport.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that arrangements should be made to run the Metro Bus service in 5 days. The premier issued instructions to the Capital Development Authority, Ministry of Interior Affairs and National Highway Authority in this context.
The project was inaugurated way back in 2017 by the then prime minister Nawaz Sharif and was to be completed by August 2018, but the work on the project lingered on.
Even today by the end of 2021 certain essential requirements like the Security Surveillance System, Command and control center, and ticketing system have not been finalized as yet.
Once started the Peshawar Morr to New Airport route would benefit millions of people on daily basis.
