The Punjab government has approved a major project to launch a Metro Bus Service in Faisalabad, with a budget of Rs. 70 billion. The initiative, aimed at providing affordable transport for the city’s residents, will be the first large-scale public transportation system in Faisalabad.
The Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) has completed the initial planning stages, including detailed surveys and a comprehensive transport framework. FDA Director General, Chaudhry Muhammad Asif, shared these details during a press briefing, highlighting the importance of the project for the city’s growing population.
Last week, Punjab Minister for Transport, Bilal Akbar Khan, chaired a meeting in Lahore, where technical and administrative aspects of the project were discussed. The meeting was attended by officials from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and transport experts, who provided insights into the project’s design and operation.
The Metro Bus Service will cover three main routes: from Kamalpur Interchange to Samundri Road, Narwala Ada to Satiana Road, and Jhang Road to Jaranwala Road, with Red Crescent Chowk serving as a central point for all routes.
Furthermore, the government has approved the introduction of 100 electric buses for the system, ensuring an eco-friendly solution for Faisalabad’s transport needs.

No millat road no civil lines area covered
Although I am affiliated with Shareefs, but in my true observation, 90% populace has irresable passion for IK. Whatever PMLN does for benifits of people of Pakistan, vote bank belongs to IK all due to sacking PTI Govt by Gen Bajwa. IK should be thankful of GB who restores IK popularity again, otherwise IK had lost his craze in the minds of peoples.
