Pak Government decides to end cheap railway facility

[jarves]

Good question!!! Ask how can a big nation like Pakistan still keeps electing tried and tested politicians who have no delivered in the past? Thats why we cant run those 16 engines.

I think Pakistan is investing more on roads thats why Pakistani railways are in bad shape.....

Not that! Roads aren't out of this world either. Its a political mafia and transport mafia that is not letting the railways prosper. Plus every political government stuffs railways and other state enterprises with their followers. More staff than needed, how can any corporation survive?

So another liar joined the team. Quoting some XYZ News on the internet is the your source, also posting an OLX link which is completely showing as fake. You want us to reply on your pathetic Rumors or what?

IK gave good time to all stupid people who wanted to be called "Educated". to Keep spreading rumors and expect Pakistan will grow.

Man it wasn't any XYZ News, it was The News Tribe, one of most authentic news papers.

Also 15th Jan, Wednesday: Both Geo and Dunya TV covered this story during their new bulletin, I watched it myself. Will try to find the video for you..

Hummm ..... My avatar is Diogenes, looking for an honest man. I guess Diogenes should not waste his time in Pakistan. So sad .......

The character in your avatar is barely visible in the thumnail view. I won't be surprised if someone mistook it for the statue of liberty.

BTW, Diogenes wouldn't bother to look ANYWHERE in today's World.

How can a big nation like Pakistan can have only 16 railway engines?

16 "electric" engines... "hundreds diesel" and half of them probably shitty... locomotive factory at Risalpur has been leased to a private company tht is renovating it and will produce 100 or so engines govt ordered.. lets see...

My question to this genius is how Electric train were cheap
- what would be cheaper to run engine directly with diesel or use that diesel to generate electricity first then run railway engine with it
