Cricket matches at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium are set to affect Metrobus operations across Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Metrobus services between the twin cities will face temporary suspensions during the movement of cricket teams. The restrictions will remain in place during the cricket series from October 4 to November 13.
The changes are linked to team movements and security arrangements surrounding the matches. As a result, commuters using the affected route may face temporary disruptions.
Metrobus Route to Face Temporary Suspension
The Metrobus service between Saddar Station and Pak Secretariat will be completely suspended during cricket team movements.
The suspension will take place whenever teams are transported through the designated route. Therefore, commuters may need to plan their journeys around team movements.
The temporary closure has been ordered as part of security arrangements during the ongoing cricket series. Meanwhile, specific Metrobus stations will also remain closed during matches.
Three Metrobus Stations to Remain Closed
Three stations have been identified for temporary closure during cricket matches. These include Khatm-e-Nabuwwat, IJP Road and Sixth Road stations.
The closures will coincide with match-related security arrangements. However, the restrictions are expected to remain temporary and linked to specific team movements and matches.
Metrobus authorities said the decision followed instructions from the district administration.
Cricket Series Brings Security-Related Changes
The cricket series at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is scheduled to continue from October 4 to November 13. During this period, authorities will implement temporary transport restrictions when teams move through the twin cities.
The measures are intended to facilitate team movements and related security arrangements. Consequently, Metrobus users may experience interruptions at different times during the series.
For commuters, the main changes involve the Saddar-to-Pak Secretariat service and the three identified stations. The restrictions will remain linked to cricket team movements and match-related security requirements.
With the cricket series underway, Metrobus commuters in Rawalpindi and Islamabad will therefore need to account for temporary service closures during affected periods.
