The Islamabad Metro Service has been partially restored in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi after a brief suspension that had disrupted daily commuters earlier this week. Officials confirmed that operations have now resumed on major routes, bringing relief to thousands of passengers who depend on the service for affordable and efficient travel.
According to transport authorities, the metro bus service is now fully operational between Saddar Station and Shaheed-e-Millat Station. However, the route from Parade Ground to Pak Secretariat remains suspended due to ongoing administrative and security arrangements.
The suspension was introduced earlier as part of heightened security measures in Islamabad, which also led to temporary disruptions in other public transport services. Authorities had increased monitoring across sensitive areas of the capital, leading to controlled movement on key routes.
Officials confirmed the Green Line Bus Service in Rawalpindi has fully resumed after several days of suspension. The gradual restoration of services is expected to ease commuting pressure on daily travelers in both cities.
Passengers welcomed the resumption of the Islamabad Metro Service, saying it has significantly reduced travel time and transport costs. Many office workers and students rely heavily on the metro network, especially during peak hours.
Transport officials advised commuters to stay updated on route changes and avoid delays during the service review. They added that full restoration will depend on further clearance from relevant authorities.
The metro bus system offers fast and affordable urban transport and remains widely used in the capital region. Any disruption in its operations directly affects daily mobility across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Authorities have not announced a final timeline for complete restoration, but assured the public that normal operations will resume soon.
