Metro Bus Service was a unique public welfare project
in Pakistan and would be a gift to the people of Lahore. 11 park and ride
stations would be set up along the Metro Bus Service route for commuters. Security
must be provided at these parking stations. Two bus lanes have been allocated for operation of the buses in the
middle of the road. For better safety and uninterrupted flow of traffic, fences
have also been installed on both sides of the track.
Twenty seven bus stations are being built on the curb side of the MBS lane and in order to avert congested traffic, one of the world’s longest metro bus fly-over is being constructed for MBS, which is almost 8.6 kilometers long.

The first fleet of 45 buses was expected to arrive from China soon for
the 27-kilometre-long Metro Bus System (MBS). LDA sources said that the buses
had been manufactured by Volvo China and were expected to arrive in Karachi
within the next few weeks. They would be dispatched to Lahore after customs
clearance.
The MBS project is expected to serve around 18,000 people every hour by
providing them with a mass transit facility. The Metro Bus System is being
constructed over Ferozepur Road from Gajju Matta to Shahdra via Lytton Road,
MAO College, Lower Mall, Data Darbar, Niazi Chowk and Shahdrah.
