It will be a great attraction for passengers and will help job holders and students utilise their travelling time
ISLAMABAD: I recently travelled in the green line train introduced by the Pakistan Railways. Although there were a few issues, the overall experience was good. The facility of Wi-Fi came handy for me to stay in touch with my work, clients, family and friends through social media. Another good project of the government is the metro bus for the twin cities. As per reports, more than 100,000 people will travel daily by the Metro Bus Service (MBS). According to sources, there are between six to eight universities on the route and many colleges, which means it is a great thing for students. I would suggest the Metro bus authorities to do a joint venture with PTCL for Wi-Fi on the buses as they have introduced in the green line train, people will appreciate it. It will be a great attraction for passengers and will help job holders and students utilise their travelling time in a much better way. I hope the MBS authorities will consider this suggestion to match their level of transport services with international standards.
