In first phase of the project, 11 feeder routes will be added to the Multan Metrobus System through operating 100 air conditioned buses expected to transport around 75,000 commuters on a daily basis. These feeder routes will have fare, operational and physical integration with Metrobus Line to ensure running of a fully integrated transport system within the city.
