After Lahore work to begin on Pindi Metro Train

If authorities have to upgrade Rawalpindi-Islamabad Mass Transit to train after a mere year into its operation then that reflects lack of planning on govt's. part. They should have anticipated the estimated number of commuters and how that number will rise with time when the project was in its conceptual phase. If they had done their calculations, and done them right they would have known a bus system would soon be rendered incapable of catering to the needs of all and train-based metro system would have to be introduced as replacement.

I'm sure the buses from Isb-Rawalpindi Metro can be utilized for metro projects being materialized elsewhere across the country and hence won't go to waste. It does not, however, absolve govt. of the short-sighted approach they have exemplified as far as infrastructure projects are concerned.

how does it reflects the planning of on Govt Parts?? The People are using Metro as Sight Seeing and Fun purpose... there was report on PTV yesterday that people came from many areas just to use Metro for sight seeing

The main reason they made elevated tracks rather then on ground tracks was they can be turned into Metro Train anytime in future.... As the Infrastructure and Stations will be there... Even sooner or Later Lahore Metro Bus Line will be turned into Green Line Metro Train as more and more people are using Metro .... Plus New Route in Rawalpindi i hope it's From Rawat To Faizabad

You are right these Buses will go to Multan as Metro is Under Construction there and Faisalabad and Gujranwala ...

You have raised very valid point that the reason why metro is so crowded could be because people are taking a ride in it for recreational purposes.

Granted, that may be true, but wouldn't you agree that the number of people commuting through metro for fun are dwarfed by the number of people who're using it because they actually need it? I'm no expert but i can very confidently say that the ration would be 99 : 1. That is, for every 100 commuters, not more than 1 or 2 would be riding it for the sake of pleasure. And if we're to assume this number to be correct (which is very logical) then it would mean most of the hassle is caused by regular commuters. Which, again, lends credibility to the thought that adequate planning has not been a corner stone of this project, to put it mildly.

Hope you got my point.
 
Don't know why you always make fun your PM...i think he is doing good work as compare to previous Govt of Pakistan.

Seriously WTF. I am from Pindi and Shahbaz Sharif sab we do NOT need a phuking metro train right now. Extend the metro bus network. For people from other cities, the current metro bus covers just the Murree road. Rest of Pindi, which is like 80%, is left at the mercy of suzukis, wagons and qingqis. And NO we do not want elevated tracks either. Just a dedicated on ground, no frills, no fancy stations metro bus network which runs on time and covers most of Pindi. For God's sake have some mercy on future generations and stop building imported shit on borrowed money.
 
Characterizing NS as a "weak personality" or implying he's stupid would be inaccurate, in my opinion.
Generally speaking, If one is simple minded and does not like to poke his nose matters not concerning him/her then he is likely to be branded stupid, which i believe is the case here. Nobility become so rare it's often confused with weakness. I believe word 'pacifist' describes NS better.

The problem lies with the general mentality of people of South-Asia. They hold high regard for rulers who have aggressive tendencies, are known to produce hawkish statements from time to time and institute policies of escalation, policies which push countries to war. It's unfortunate that such leaders are lionized, deemed fit-to-rule and considered 'strong' in this part of world. Such leaders and their provocative stature, in a way, aligns with one of the most common human proclivity, proclivity that is intrinsic to human nature ; anger and aggression. This is what wins them public approval and admiration.

Also, this is why biggest war-mongers and and conquerors like Genghis Khan, Caesar and Stain have historically been elevated to the ranks of heroes while those who did wonders in public welfare and social-uplift of their people are ignored to the extent of oblivion. World in general, and we the south Asians in particular, measure greatness of kings by the number of dead bodies they have left in their wake.

I strongly believe this is the reason why Pakistani nation will never give appreciation to NS he deserves. Because, he's not so outspoken like his political rivals, sticks to his mandate and doesn't interfere in the affairs of other state institutions, he will always be perceived as weak and incapable of ruling, no matter how sincerely and diligently he works to improve this country.

Are you blind or something the article said 1 new route of Metro... these will be build slowly it's not like build 5 6 7 routes at the same time... The elevated tracks are being build cause in future the population will rise and the buses won't be sufficient so these tracks can be converted into train tracks.. if they make on ground tracks then in future they have to make elevated tracks again...

I am VERY impressed with your post, intellect and comprehension. One of the VERY few posts on here that I've built admiration for. And no, its not because it has NS in it. It's because the post above is speaking the truth and it has a LOT of Wisdom for Pakistan and Pakistanis, should they care to learn from it.

In the context of Pakistan, aka a poor country, what has the Hawkish Generals and aggressive leaders have provided the country in 70 years? The answer is, the country got divided in half, the economy was near collapse and bankrupt just three years ago, the public welfare wasn't paid attention to, no one thought about growing population, need for more electricity and infrastructure, education, flood prevention, roads, highways, mass transit and a stronger, modern and better defense.
Who has actually done stuff that's visible to human eye, the last time and this time? People who are in the power.

When you don't have food to eat in your own house, how can you go and offer food to others? You, yourself have to be strong before making a stand, offering help, support or threatening of an consequences to others. You do not get there with simple aggressiveness, you actually get there with calm head, focused on an agenda and get it done. Once the economic strength comes, the remainder will automatically come.

Take a look at India, these guys till 2010 in any work place was SO humble and down to earth. And now, take a look at their soup-o-powa attitude just on this site. And its the same everywhere else. You can't blame them. They were heads down for two decades and built a huge economy out of it, that now has serious influence on the US. So similarly, this isn't a time for Pakistan to have people who show punches on TV, its time for humble, focused and less aggressive people who have expertise in growing businesses and economy. Not threatening war with a 4 times larger enemy that you can't compete with soldier to soldier, in quantity or in quality. Even the COAS is also humble, both the PM and the COAS are very focused on building a better Pakistan and that's the way to do it. Between both the shariffs, I give them both two thumbs up :tup: :tup:.
The entire world knows it that if Pakistan is attacked, like any other country, she'll defend herself to teeth and that can get very ugly for any invading country. So why keep the macho-man talk going, when you can lay low and get more business, grow your middle class and become a stronger economy, resulting in happy and financially stable population and much stronger defense system, with state of the art weapons system and no concerns about sanctions?

PTI's Land Record



but sadly punjab's computerization of land records cant be completed on record time like metros lol :D and about sasti roti scheme my friend this concept was first introduced by PTI back in 2008 2009 in lahore :sarcastic:

As you may know that Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaaf in Lahore has launched a ‘Sasta’ Tandoor on Aug 27 2008 in the congested run-down locality of Dubanpura. This is to help the common man who is unable to feed his/her family and who does not resort to begging. This is especially important during the month of Ramadan.


PTI launches a ‘Sasta Tandoor’


and about motorway project i dont know why you bring this federal level project for comparison with provincial govt :cry:


Shahbaz is talking about model police in punjab since 2008 but sadly we havent seen any improvement in punjab police .. providing expensive bikes to punjab police naming them dolphins will not going to change fate of punjab police see in kpk with in year KPK police is leading with example :enjoy: now compare shity punjab police with kpk police
