He said that facilitating the masses is the mission of the government. He said that despite speedy completion of the project, no compromise would be made on its standard. Shahbaz Sharif said, therefore, he was personally monitoring the project. He said that Pakistanis are a living nation and people would be provided respectable and comfortable transport facilities in every city.
The chief minister said that the Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro Bus Project was aimed at benefitting labourers, workers, doctors, government servants, students, working women and low-income people and it is a masterpiece of quality and transparency. He said that the residents of Rawalpindi-Islamabad have shown extreme patience during construction work of the project and boldly faced various problems for which he lauded traders, students, employees and all citizens. He said that the glorious journey of Metro Project which started from Lahore was continuing successfully and soon the residents of the twin cities would receive the gift of Metro Bus Service. He said that the foundation of a new culture has been laid through the project and it would prove to be a milestone in modernising the transport system in the country.
