Metro Bus track deteriorates, needs urgent overhaul

The Metro bus track has deteriorated in several places due to lack of timely maintenance, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.

As per the details, the track from Data Darbar to Kasur Pura is in poor condition, and the track from Qainchi to Arfa is also damaged.

Several spots on the elevated track of the Metro bus are also to be repaired.

The Metro Bus Authority constructed the track in 2015. Over the years, only minor patchwork has been carried out.

Sources reveal that the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) was assigned the repair work in the past, which remained incomplete as the contractor abandoned the work and disappeared with the equipment.

Recently, the Mass Transit Authority conducted significant patchwork, but after nine years, the track now requires a complete overhaul.

The poor condition of the track is causing mechanical issues for the new buses provided by the Metro bus service.
