Public transport services in Lahore have been fully restored after days of suspension due to security and traffic disruptions across the city. The Orange Line Metro Train resumed operations on Tuesday after remaining non-functional for five consecutive days, while the Metro Bus Service was brought back online following a four-day suspension, according to officials from the Punjab Mass Transit Authority.

The authority confirmed that both services were temporarily halted due to road blockages and public safety concerns amid recent law and order challenges in Lahore.

However according to further traffic update in Lahore areas like Scheme Mor to Samanabad (Both sides), Shimla Pahari and Lahore Press Club will still remain closed as per Safe city traffic alert.

All routes are open to public
