Japan to Build Modern Mass Transit System in Karachi

[Edevelop]

@RiazHaq

Sir there is also a problem. 60% of KCR route is owned by Pakistan Railways. Although Saad Rafique is cracking down on enroachment in those areas, he is however not interested in sending Railway trainees to Japan. Instead he decided to send them to China.

It is known to us that Nawaz Sharif, Sind Govt and Planning Division are sticking with Japan but since this guy is also part of the Federal Government and his actions speak otherwise, question is how firm is the decision ?

This is good news , if It actually goes through given the current GOV. Karachi is in serious need of this project as the city is in serious problems regarding traffic sure hope it goes through then again Pakistan you never know .

A design proposal from early 2000s. Not sure if this would be considered again

Unlike KCR which was driven into the ground by Pakistan Railway in 1999, the new mass transit system in Karachi will not be run by Pakistan Railway. It will be under Karachi Urban Transport Corp (KUTC).

Well i hope so.

In Lahore there is:

LTC (Lahore Transport Company)

PMBA (Punjab Metro Bus Authority)

Not gonna stay that clean

Sind needs to cooperate with Punjab Govt. Maybe they can help open a label under KWMC.

LWMC (Lahore Waste Management Company) spends Rs.8 Billion annually and they are preparing to expand their work to cities like Sialkot, Pindi, Faisalabad, Multan, and Quetta

We karachiites don't need those cr@ppy buses. We want and deserve the metro train project.

When Pakistan is getting metro trains??

 

[Edevelop]

They are cr@ppier. Anyways you can be happy with the metro buses. We being the largest and the only true metropolitan city of Pakistan deserve metro trains like these one.

We karachiites don't need those cr@ppy buses. We want and deserve the metro train project.

Then get a better government in Sind !

After Lahore revolutionized its Bus Network, its now gearing up for Metro Train. You will see a winning bidder next month.

Karachi will fall in shame. If it doesn't do anything now then in the next few years you are looking at transportation in cities like Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Multan better than Karachi.

Hopefully. After Japan diverted its loan to Dhaka's future mass transit system, there was a sense of urgency from our side.The PM did actually meet with Japanese and i guess those business links came into handy.... Still lots of work needs to be done by Sind Govt alone. First it needs to take care of law and order and secondly, they need to cooperate with Railway Department on encroachments.

Its sad to see that that after 15 cities in India are getting a rapid transit system and are under construction, Pakistan is yet only in planning. I hope this system runs before 2035.
