Lahore’s administration reportedly sealed all general bus terminals late Saturday night, suspending intercity services on Sunday and leaving passengers stranded.
The closures disrupted travel to Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, southern Punjab, and parts of central Punjab. Passengers faced canceled tickets and suspended departures as operators stopped dispatching buses.
Major private operators, including Faisal Movers and Daewoo, also halted services amid reports of restrictions on public transport movement along motorways and national highways. Representatives of both companies confirmed that buses were not being dispatched because of the restrictions.
However, motorway police spokesperson Imran Shah said motorways and highways remained open. He added that he was unaware of any instructions to suspend bus services.
A separate motorway police official, speaking anonymously, linked the suspension to the PTI’s protest call and said private vehicles could still use the roads.
The disruption comes amid the PTI’s march demanding Imran Khan’s release, which began on October 4 and has remained within KP. Containers had also been moved to Swabi Interchange and the Indus River bridge on the M-1 to block the march, although the motorway and Grand Trunk Road remained open.
