Lahore Transport Company (LTC) chairman Khawaja Ahmed Hassaan has constituted a team to interact with the heads of education institutions to generate awareness and identify elements among the student community responsible for disrupting public transport in the city.

Committee members have met with the principals of Gulberg College for Boys, Islamia College Civil Lines and Dayal Singh College, vice chancellor Punjab University and, Superior University. The committee is working on developing options for student fare concessions in consultation with the heads. Hassaan said, he hoped to announce a student fare scheme soon.

The LTC chairman told a programme review meeting that education institution heads would be held responsible for any incidents of hooliganism by their students. He said police and the LTC enforcement staff would provide security to the buses operating in the city.

The media, he added, had played a positive role in mobilising public opinion in favour of ensuring an efficient and affordable transport system in the city.

Hassaan also said he expected parents to play their role in making students appreciate the projects launched by the city government.
