Free Travel for Seniors, Students, and Disabled Soon in Punjab
The Punjab government, led by PML-N, is set to introduce a new welfare program offering free transport services to seniors, students, and individuals with disabilities. Under this initiative, these groups will be able to travel at no cost on the Orange Line, Metro, and Speedo buses.
The free transport services will be available in Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi—key cities with extensive public transport networks. The aim is to ease the financial burden on these vulnerable groups and make commuting more accessible.
The initiative is awaiting final approval from the Punjab Cabinet Committee. A detailed proposal has been submitted by the transport department and the Mass Transit Authority, and Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb is overseeing the approval process. Once approved, the program will be launched to support those who need it most.
