On Beirut's chaotic, car-choked streets, Lebanese student Fatima Fakih rides a shiny purple bus to university, one of a fleet rolled out by authorities to revive public transport in a country struggling to deliver basic services.In the capital, university student Fakih encouraged everyone to take public buses, "also to protect the environment".

The article from Yahoo News discusses the challenges and developments in Lebanon's public transportation system. It highlights the country's reliance on private cars and service taxis due to the lack of an efficient public transport network, which has led to severe traffic congestion and air pollution. Recent efforts to improve the situation include the introduction of a new bus service in Beirut, supported by the European Union, aimed at providing affordable and reliable transport. However, the initiative faces hurdles such as political instability, economic crises, and infrastructural deficits. The article also touches on the broader implications of these transport issues on Lebanon's economy and environment, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive reforms and investments to enhance the public transportation system.
