ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has inaugurated Metro Bus Service to Islamabad International Airport.
Addressing the ceremony, Shehbaz Sharif regretted that the project was delayed for four years which increased its cost up to 16 billion.
Terming CPEC, a game-changer project for Pakistan and the region, he thanked China for giving this gift to Islamabad.
Initially, as many as 13 buses will run on the Peshawar Mor-Islamabad airport route. This will be the first bus service on this route and will facilitate thousands of commuters on a daily basis.
Shortly after assuming his office on April 12, Prime Minister Shehbaz announced that he would launch Metro Bus Service to Islamabad airport within five days.
He directed the Capital Development Authority, the Ministry of Interior Affairs and National Highway Authority to complete all the arrangements for running the metro bus service on the route.
