This is a glimpse of what commuters struggle through in public vans before the introduction of the metro bus services in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The suspension of the metro bus for 14 days pushed almost 100,000 daily commuters back to the humiliating conditions stated above. During the “Azadi March”, I heard a mother narrating her daughter’s woes due to the closure of the metro bus. Metro bus fuel stations are also located in the same depot. They should have also included the provision of uninterrupted metro bus services for the citizens.
