Meanwhile, All Pakistan Public Transport Association also held a press conference, wherein Chairman Asmat Nizai said that it was impossible to implement the SOPs laid down by the government. “If public transport is not restored, how will be able to go to our homes for Eid?” Aftab Khan, a native of Mansehra who works in Lahore, asked. “Our mobility is already hampered and public transport is much-needed these days,” he added. Furthermore, the government has emphasised contact tracing and tracking of passengers using online ticketing technology. Online ticketing minimises cash handling and physical interactions at terminals, thereby reducing passengers’ risk of exposure to the virus.
