whats so special in that 8km brigde, time and again mentioning it to prove what?
 
i live in chuburji and to be honest have failed to see the need for a metro bus bridge if it was for cars i would understand but not this crap and the work is low level
 
the only good thing about it is that it can be turned into a metro track, rest is just chestthumping from shareef brothers.
 
give credit where people deserve it.just look around other provinces wat other provincial Govt. are doing for there people. Think , Analyse , Compare it with your self and then comment
 
well thts true tht right now Punjab Govt is the most efficient govt in Pakistan.....other provinves should learn from them instead of making cheap stunts......hope Mustafa Kamal, Shahbaz Shareef type people comes in Karachi again...:(
 
If you are spending so much money to build a bridge might as well use trains instead of buses.
