The interim government of Punjab has made the decision to reinstate the complimentary travel service for students on Metro Buses and Orange Line Trains, especially considering the challenging weather conditions.
Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi has instructed officials to reintroduce the provision of free travel on these two major public transport initiatives. Students, ranging from classes I to XII, are eligible to avail themselves of complimentary travel on all Metro Buses and the Orange Line Train throughout the duration of the summer vacation.
It’s worth noting that last year, in response to the surge in oil prices, the provincial government had initially announced the extension of free public transport services to students. However, just prior to the commencement of winter vacations, the decision was made to temporarily suspend this service. Now, the free travel benefit has been reinstated and will persist until the conclusion of the summer break.

It is important to emphasize that students can take advantage of the complimentary bus service if they adhere to the requirement of wearing their school uniform and carrying valid school/college identity cards.
