Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif travelled as an ordinary commuter without any security or protocol in the newly launched urban transport bus in the provincial metropolis here on Wednesday. The other passengers of the bus were pleasantly surprised to see the Chief Minister and the bus resounded with the slogans of Chief Minister Punjab Zindabad.
Chairman Urban Transport Company Khawaja Ahmad Hasaan also accompanied him. The Chief Minister paid for the bus ticket and inquired from the fellow passengers about the new transport service. Expressing his views, a worker Muhammad Yasin said that people of Lahore are thankful to the Chief Minister Punjab for providing an affordable and comfortable bus service to Lahorites. The passengers requested to increase the number of buses. The Chief Minister also went to the cabin of ladies and informed them that a separate bus service will soon be launched for them. A student of Government Gulberg College Muhammad Siam said that it is a wrong impression that students want to travel in the new buses free of charge but on the contrary they are grateful to Punjab government for this facility and will continue to extend their co-operation.
The Chief Minister said that Punjab government has taken solid measures for the provision of modern transport facilities to the people and this project has been started from Lahore. He said that besides provision of more buses in the provincial metropolis, the network of modern transport would be extended to the whole province. It may be mentioned that when the Chief Minister boarded the bus from Model Town, no one had information about it and the bus continued to stop on its route to pick up passengers.
