After a four-day halt because of a political party's protest call, the metro bus service in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad resumed operations on Tuesday.
Regular commuters were severely disrupted by the service's Friday suspension, especially office workers, students, and low-income passengers who depend on the metro as a reliable and reasonably priced form of transportation.
In Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and other major cities, the suspension caused extensive road blockages, which had a negative effect on logistics and intercity travel.
The situation was made worse by the closure of a number of important routes, including portions of the motorway network, during the demonstrations.
Numerous commuters were compelled by the disruption to look for alternate modes of transportation, frequently at higher costs and requiring longer travel times.
However, the twin cities are gradually returning to normalcy now that the metro bus service is up and running.
In a related development, Lahore's Orange Line Metro Train service, which had been suspended because of the tense situation, has started running again.
For thousands of commuters who depend on metro services for their everyday commute, the return of these services is anticipated to be a relief.
Notably, the authorities have guaranteed that every precaution is taken to guarantee seamless transport services and stop any more interruptions.
