LAHORE: Punjab government has decided to abolish subsidy on the fares of Punjab Metro Buses, said provincial finance minister Makhdoom Hashim.
The finance minister said government was providing Rs12 billion annually on Multan and Rawalpindi Metro.
He went on to say that fares of Metro Bus being run from Shahdara to Gajju Matta would be charged from stop to stop.
