to offer them respectable transportation methods. So, first of all I asked many people who are using this service if they were satisfied with the quality of service offered to them. 60% of the people expressed their satisfaction while 40% complained that the quality has deteriorated over time as air conditioners don’t work at times and the buses break down too. On a question if they would continue to use this service if the government decides to double the fare, 70% responded negatively and stated that then they would look for alternative transportation. 30% people responded in affirmative but with condition that the ACs keep working in the summers and the buses don’t break down enroute. Some commuters and motorists that use that route but not the Metro bus were also asked about their views on the project. Although 90% of them agreed that the government has taken a good step for the poor but they expressed their dissatisfaction about the time when this project was under construction and the enormous difficulties people had to face on a daily basis for almost a year. Some were skeptical that the project won’t last long as the amount of finances required to maintain the buses and the facilities thereon would not be provided as the project is mainly aimed for poor people and no one in the government cares for them much. So, there was a visible pessimism in those responses. While I was on my inland study tour, I asked about the proposed Metro bus project in Rawalpindi. Very strangely, almost everyone had apprehensions about this project regarding the inconvenience it will bring to the people of Rawalpindi during its construction and many businesses located within its construction site would also suffer badly. Thus I observed from these results that Metro Bus project though noble in its intentions has not created much of a public value in its classical definition and it seems unlikely to sustain it because people who are the main stakeholders here but not willing to sacrifice anything in return.>
