The Punjab Mass Transit Authority has introduced media coverage fees at Metro Bus and Orange Line train stations in Lahore. Media outlets will be required to pay a fee for coverage, and the authority has categorized the stations into three categories to streamline the process.
For Category A stations, there are eight in total, media organizations will be charged a fee of Rs. 246,000 per station. Category B stations, which consist of 10 stations, will incur a coverage fee of Rs. 185,000 for each station. Category C, comprising eight stations, will have a coverage fee of Rs. 124,000.
In addition to this, media outlets covering the Metro Bus service will also need to pay a fee of PKR 124,000. This move is aimed at generating revenue from media coverage at these public transportation facilities in Lahore.
