The Blue Line is expected to be a game-changer for travel times in Lahore, helping to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce air pollution, which aligns with the government's Green Punjab initiative.

In addition to the metro project, Maryam Nawaz plans to introduce 500 additional electric buses by August and expand the Metrobus service to Faisalabad and Gujranwala in the next fiscal year.

This ambitious project is part of the Punjab government's investment in public transport infrastructure, aimed at enhancing connectivity and easing commuting for residents.

This announcement follows the recent launch of Lahore's first electric bus service, which introduced 27 electric buses operating at a fare of Rs20.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced the launch of Lahore's first fully underground metro train, the Blue Line, as part of a broader initiative to modernize urban transport.

Covering a distance of 27 kilometers from Valencia Town to Babu Sabu Chowk, the Blue Line is projected to be completed within three years at a cost of Rs600 billion.

Feasibility studies and design planning for the metro train have already commenced, focusing on creating an efficient, eco-friendly, and affordable public transport system.
