Benefits of Metro / Train Projects:
1- 100 people travel on 1 vehicle less fuel is required vs 100 people travelling in 100 Cars.
2- Less cars on road means less Traffic congestion , Traffic congestion burns more fuel vs running traffic.
3- The Metro/Train project earns Daily "Revenue from Ticket Sales" 2 way travel by 3 Million people in metro city. So lot of money is generated in 30 day period.
4- Train/Bus tracks don't get congested , so you get point A to point B efficiently avoiding traffic bottleneck. Health benefits as you have have less tiredness or stress
Sir the facts are much different.
1> Wrong it will have zero effect on car only it will replace van and buses not all but most because they earn profit and here Govt. will spend huge Money on Its daily subsidies + its Loan + project interest & probably loan to run this project because Govt. is already Default.
2> wrong again pls check Ferozpur road or ask some one who live in Lahore.
If you want to save people time + Fuel (Reducing people exp+Reducing Import)
Only practical solution is improve infrastructure
1> Add More LANE 2> Bridge 3> Underpass 4> U-turn to avoid signal traffic Jam 5> U-Turn Bridge
3> its false info Metro earn nothing. We will save money by simply shutting it down or charging ticket for people to use it. e.g. Ring Road
Turkish Company Run Metro Project you give them Huge Money to subsidies this project.
Infrastructure is under Govt. and we spend money just to maintain it & now also add loan taken for this nonsense project + bank interest.
4> Because you waste insane amount of money for nothing. In Simple Words this Project it self is a Treason Against The State. The Reason your Hospital were so F up is because Govt divert all state resources for metro bus. i know one incident where govt. give few corer to hospital for a project(Free Treatment+Facility) then took it back for metro.
let me share a true story with you as an example
A patient needed a liver transplant
Doc rejected his request and told him this reason
Sir you are Earning Rs 25k per month you had nothing
Even if we perform Transplant Costing 3 Million + for free
You simply can't handle the huge cost(Doc+test+medicine+Hospital/Clinic) after Operation which is more then you earn
Now If anyone still support Metro Train/Bus then <MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS/HER BRAIN>
Functional System
(In one City)
3,000,000 travelers x 100 rupee Ride Ticket x 2 (two way ticket) =
60 Crore , earned per day
- Stalled KPK bus project makes Zero Rupee per day (Peshawar) [Project Status 80%]
- Stalled Lahore Orange train makes Zero Rupees per day (Lahore) [Project Status 90%]
- Stalled KCR Circular Railway makes Zero gains per day (Karachi) [Project Status 0%]

Facts
The project which are stuck don't need daily subsides to run the project but your Turkish Run Project Does.
All add cost of maintenance for infrastructure
Another Fact unless Govt. further increase subsides your Metro ticket price will be further increased. Atleaset double for Rwp/Isb.
Don't generate revenue or pay back cost for Metro project or its loan but unless the project don't further required state money on daily basis for its daily operation then i am ok with it.
State should also use Metro Route for commercial basis charge people ticket and give them passage. for trains i don't see any benefits
