RAWALPINDI: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has decided to implement a new digital payment system for the Metro Bus and Orange Line transport services across the province.

During a meeting with the transport department and Mass Transit Authority, it was decided to replace the token system with a barcode system for card-based payments.

This new system will accept payments via credit, debit, and ATM cards, as well as mobile apps. Near Field Communication (NFC) cards will also be usable in Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad.

The Yellow Line Lahore-Gujranwala bus rapid transit (BRT) system and the upcoming supply of electric buses across Punjab were also reviewed.

Furthermore, the meeting addressed the design and installation of prefabricated bus shelters in Lahore, with 50 shelters set to be installed soon.
