ISLAMABAD: Following public backlash, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has restored the previous fare rates for metro and electric buses in Islamabad.
The civic agency spokesperson said that the authority withdrew the fare increase following the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
According to the notification, the previous fare restoration will apply to all bus services, including the Orange Line, Green Line, Blue Line, and Electric Bus feeder routes, with immediate effect.
