The Green Line bus service had become fully operational from Jan 10, with 80 buses covering a track of 21 kilometers from 6 in the morning till 10 at night. 22 bus stations have also been completed.

STONES PELTED AT MULTIPLE POINTS OF GREEN LINE BUS SERVICE

After visiting the bus service, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail requested people to keep the buses and stations clean. “This European-standard facility is for you and you deserved it,” he said. “This is not a place to spit paan or betel nut (chhalia).”

Recently, stones had been pelted at the newly-inaugurated Green Line bus service in Karachi at multiple points between Surjani and Numaish areas of the city.

The stones were pelted from the pedestrian bridge and damaged the infrastructure of buses,” they said adding that however no passenger was hurt in the incidents.
