Since the images and videos filmed by onlookers were posted on social media, thousands of netizens have their own ‘suitable’ captions of the incident. From calling it “powered by manpower” to labelling the buses as “Made In China” for its unreliable service, the internet users were seen making fun of the ‘poor’ travellers who just wanted to reach their destinations but were left stranded.
These high-quality bus-based transit systems started off with a rocky start in Peshawar even though they were known for high-speed performance across the globe. Surround by controversies of corruption among other accidents, when the buses finally hit the road, it stopped midway prompting the travellers to push the vehicle from behind. As per reports, the incident happened near the Abdara station on November 20. From Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s opposition members to other citizens, several netizens took to Twitter to unleash sarcasm on the current administration.
