LAHORE: All the CNG filling stations in Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan and Sahiwal regions remained closed on Wednesday the third day to observe weekly three-day closure to comply with gas shortage management plan.
Commuters continued to face problems due to lack of transport in the city as well as at inter-city routes.
Wagon drivers overcharged the commuters in the name of closure of CNG stations. On the other hand commuters were of the view that transporters were already charging excess amount as they were using CNG at cheaper rates.
Many buses and wagons remained out of the roads due to closure of CNG stations. Commuters faced problems to reach their destinations due to lack of transport. Buses, wagons and rickshaws demanded inflated fares from public.
Wagon drivers and commuters were seen arguing over fare in different parts of the city as wagon conductors were charging Rs 5 to 10 excess fares in the name of closure of CNG.
Buses plying on the road were seen less than usual service. People had to wait long for the bus to come.
