The entire scenario, including the bus, burst into flames and the thick smoke it was spewing, can be seen in videos taken by several witnesses.

A similar incident was previously reported on Monday when a metro bus caught fire near Jinnah Avenue in Islamabad.

The previous Punjab administration made the decision to replace the outdated Metro buses with a new fleet of buses last year. According to media reports, Lahore received 64 new Metro buses once they were approved and began operating on the route.

A contract was struck by the government, VEDA Transit Solutions, and a number of regional banks to replace the outdated fleet of the 64-bus, 27-kilometer-long Lahore Metro Bus System. According to the report, the Bank of Punjab served as this agreement’s principal advisor and arranger.
