LAHORE: Thousands of people on Monday suffered difficulty in travelling after the Punjab Masstransit Authority (PMA) suspended metrobus service for a day due to the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) public rally on Labour Day.

The PTI had announced holding public rallies in Lahore, Peshawar, Islamabad and Karachi to observe Labour Day. The PTI conducted a rally from Liberty Chowk to Nasser Bagh on Monday.

However, the PMA completely suspended the metrobus service.

People faced difficulty in travelling and showed resentment, saying that it was unnecessary to suspend the service in the name of security.
