Praising the transparency of the project, PM Nawaz said that not a single finger can be raised at the Metrobus.
Appreciating the short time span taken to complete the project, PM Nawaz said that projects in the past took 30 odd years to complete yet the Metrobus project had been completed very rapidly despite sit-ins in the city.
Outlining future plans, PM Nawaz Sharif said that Metrobus would be constructed in Multan as well. He said that a mass transit system would be introduced in Karachi as well.
It is pertinent to mention here that Islamabad has 14 metro bus terminals whereas 10 stations have been made in Rawalpindi. Only Rs 20 would be charged on 20 km of travelling.
