PTI should be ashamed for spending money of entire KPK on peshawer

Hope this statement reminds every one of one of the famous statements made for IK. I dont know what is more shameful that KPK is following the same path as PMLN or the fact that they are still opposing Metro train project.

 

[I FLY HIGH]

shame on pti . their hypocracy for naya pakistan is quite clear for people now .

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Great initiative however I hope the project was completed in 1 year time

PTI had promised before to construct a Metro Rail project as well

 

[Thunder.Storm]

You all know nothing, and just commenting. Basically here is railway track which is not operational and this track connects peshawar, Mardan and Nowshehra and some other parts as well, Pak Railway is not using this track i didn't saw a single train on this track in 10 years. Kpk govt ask Federal for noc so kpk govt will operate a fast train betwen these places and kpk govt don't have to construct a separate track but PMLN govt is not allowing it. Now kpk govt ordered 100 buses from russia or will order for traffic issues. here in pesh, mardan,charsada 50 to 60 years old buses are operating. and kpk govt is not construction a separate line like metro they will operate these new buses on same roads so costs much less then lahore and islamabad metro.

They couldn't give the train land because it's railway property, and besides that line is meant to be expanded into Afghanistan and there on into tajikistan etc etc.

This is not some two kanal plot needed for an over pass, like in mareer. They wanted ENTIRE multi-kilometer section, which is absurd. They wanted to use the land to build a road for the buses, which meant the rail line could never be used again. They didn't want to run trains on it.

They will run buses on roads, which will be a bus system but NOT a rapid-bus service, which requires a reserves line through out. Obviously reserving an entire lane through out the corridor means expansion, which means money, which is b-a-d.

But regardless, this is good news. Public transit is an EQUIVALENT SOCIAL RIGHT, just like schools or hospitals.

PTI is turning out to be even more ethnically motivated than ANP. ANP always had a mixed leadership with some space for Hazaraywals but in PTI's government and leadership, no hazarawal is available even in middle tier let alone top leadership.

Actually they wanted to get it virtually free to make good on Imran Khan's claim of cheapest metro

So railways would have been the scapegoat of politics of PTI.

It depends, its a good initiative but it all depends on how much money they allocate for it? If its completely out of proportion, than that would be an injustice. I just hope there is no corruption, kickbacks or cost overruns like we saw in Metrobus Project in Islamabad and Lahore. I guess that explains why Rana Sanaullah and Nawaz Sharif started barking as NAB has finished its investigation into massive corruption in Metrobus in Islamabad and Lahore, the most expensive Metrobus anywhere in the world.

 

[somebozo]

Now why is potty ayei party building metros instead of funding education with the same funds?? running busses is not government job!

PTI is a left wing idiot they will capitalize on anything..i reality they have no leadership and no vision...pity the pathans who voted for them!
