Sir: The now famous Metro Bus Service is fully functional and operational in Punjab’s capital city, Lahore. The Punjab government has announced that on August 14, 2013 — our Independence Day — the Metro buses will provide their services completely free of cost. While this is a good initiative and will encourage many to travel by these new buses, it is imperative that all in charge make sure no riff raff have access to these new vehicles as they are known to damage and vandalise public property.
