Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Tuesday (today) will inaugurate the Metro Bus service in Multan
According to reports, “Authorities have completed the Multan Metro Bus project and people will soon have the best transport facility in the city.”
The 18-kilometer long track will begin from Bahauddin Zakariya University and end at Kumharan Chowk connecting 21 stations—of which 14 are situated at flyovers while seven are located on land routes.
The metro bus project began in Multan in 2015 and it was expected to complete in a year. However financial constraints and import of equipment caused a seven-month delay. During this stretch of time citizens had to brave traffic jams and broken roads.
The Punjab government has spent over Rs.28 billion on the project, with 21 bus stations set up on 18.5km long route to facilitate 97,000 commuters daily.
