In a new development, private schools in Lahore have partnered with private transport companies to provide buses for students.
The initiative follows a meeting between the Secretary of School Education Punjab and representatives from major private schools.
Most of the large private schools have already submitted copies of their agreements with the transport companies. These companies will be responsible for transporting students to and from schools.
Bus company booths will be set up in private schools, allowing parents to deal directly with the transport providers. Parents will also make direct payments for the bus services.
Private bus companies will be accountable for student safety during transportation. In the first phase, buses will be operating for students of major schools in Lahore.
