Govt to launch $1.27bn Karachi Light Rail project

Didn't knew that a one road bus route is deemed as a mass transit system :omghaha:

Way too funny.
Sir as far as I understand, the general impression on PDF is that you are probably the paid poster by PPP just like few others hired by PML-N and PTI for PR. So you would obviously be backing your party and I totally respect that as you are only doing your job.

All I can say is, it is the performance that is going to win you the votes in the next general election and most Pakistanis on PDF are smart enough to compare the performance of each party based on statistics, talk shows and the international media and financial institutions.

When your leader come on TV and claim their right on corruption, there is definitely something wrong with the party leadership. PPP despite being in power has failed to improve the basic needs of people. Education & Health ranks amongst the worst in Pakistan in PPP dominated constituencies. The economic growth, corruption, law and order is also not satisfactory. I would be amongst the happiest people on earth if this project does go ahead but since last 6 years, I have read many mega projects initiated by PPP, most of them got shut after few months of advertisement. So the track record for completion is pretty poor so far

Don't show me colourful route maps which are nothing more than fake dreams. As I said there is no competition between PPP and Nawaj league.

LOL fake maps Please go Look at the Orange line which is about to begin and will become reality,,,, Red is already running Green Blue Purple to Follow

Don't teach us politics. You don't know the ABCD of politics. Not interested in your opinion. Keep it for yourself.

Carry on your rhetorics. Not interested.

There is no competition between PPP and Nawaj league period.

It is considered a mass transit system and technically an articulated bus has same capacity as a light rail tram.

Bus rapid transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And at least they are better than Khota Gharis, Chinghis, and Broken Buses of Karachi

Chawal read about mass transit systems in your free time. A single router like Lahore is not counted as a mass transit system. Bogota has twelve lines and this is why it is called mass transit system.

These PPP thugs are so incompetent they sold Karachi to Malik Riaz.

Not only there is water issue in Karachi they are playing gunda bazi to stop other provinces from building dams.

Don't show me colourful route maps which are nothing more than fake dreams. As I said there is no competition between PPP and Nawaj league.

LOL at least dreams are better than destroying present infrastructure. In your last tenure you people not only destroyed Railways and sold every metal scrap but also invited encroachments particularly on Circular Railway track to ditch JICA.

Such news had showed up countless times in past as well, nothing happened on ground. These 1.27 billion dollars eventually will find a safe passage to the pockets of ministers. Awaam phir beechari hasrat bhai negahon see iss rail project ke map ko dekhe ge.

Knowing Karachi, its corrupt and incompetent rulers and mafias controlling the city, this is not happening.

Just a couple of years ago, I think 2012, Japanese agency JICA did a full evaluation of circular railway and was willing to pay a billion plus dollars, where is that project now?

KARACHI: The Sindh government has decided to launch a $1.27 billion Karachi Light Rail Brown Line project and expect it to be completed by the beginning of 2018.

A committee has also been constituted to remove all the bottlenecks so that the proposed project can be started on October 1. This was decided at a meeting of Sindh government representatives and the Chinese company Sinosure at CM House on Monday. This meeting was presided over by Sindh Chief Mininster Qaim Ali Shah.

In their presentation, the Chinese team said that the project will start from Singer round-about via Korangi, Shah Faisal Road and Rashid Minhas Road. It will have a terminal station at Anda Morr on the north side of Nagan Chowrangi overpass.

The total length of the Brown Line project is 18.38 kilometres, of which 20.63 per cent or 3.7 kilometres will be underground while 12.92 kilometres will be elevated.

The project will have 13 stations, of which, three will be underground while 10 will be elevated, with one rolling stock base and operational control centres. The team expects the passenger volume to reach 20,000 to 70,0000 persons per one-way trip during peak hours.

This project will be able to generate Rs3 billion annually and can fetch up to Rs3.5 billion a year if advertisement and stalls are set up at each station.

The Sinosure group told the chief minister that 60 per cent of the total cost will be a 13-year Chinese loan while the Sindh government will have to pay 40 per cent of the total cost. The Chinese team said that 11 of their experts have made four trips to Karachi and each trip was of 20 days. During their visit they conducted soil investigation, site surveys, traffic information studies and coordinated with different Sindh government departments.

They told the chief minister that they have formed a 50-member team with 20 design experts and 30 construction experts to prepare a project proposal, conduct a feasibility study, prepare concept and pre-preliminary designs of civil and electrical works, signaling and the preparation of documents for the Chinese loan within two months.

Infrastructure investment: Govt to launch $1.27bn Karachi Light Rail project - The Express Tribune

Everyone wants to copy Lahore and Punjab Government these days. First they built the Metro Bus which is now being planned in Peshawar and Karachi. Then its Lahore Orange Line Metro Train being launched in June causing panic in Karachi. All I can say is I am a big fan of this push and competition :tup:

Don't worry. Its PPP and nothing going to happen here in Karachi. They will break Pakistan into two more parts but give people's it rights. Trust me

Didn't knew that a one road bus route is deemed as a mass transit system :omghaha:

Way too funny.

I feel pity for you and your knowledge. No doubt you fit best in PPP.
 
.
LOL propaganda of PPP haters. What competition are you bragging about ?

Sindh government had planned this well before Nawaj league. It is infact Nawaj league which is copying PPP in every single thing. The news extract from February 2015 below with link:

Investments in Sindh: China pledges to expedite projects - The Express Tribune

The projects that need to be expedited include Karachi Circular Railway and Light Rail Brown Line, three roads and bridges near Hyderabad, Karachi Safe City project and coal mining in Tharparkar Block-IV, which has been allocated to Harbin Engineering of China.

There is no competition between PPP and Nawaj league.

Nawaj league should only compare itself with PTI.
Ek Road hay Layari Expressway. Naam to yaad he hoga....

Lahore will have it running before Karachi.

This is just BS by PPP corrupt fcukers. Completion date 2018....yeah.....do you know why? Because elections.
For PPP elections don't matter. Filled with Gadinasheens and waderas, their vote bank is fixed. If PPP was sincere with the people of Sindh, Sukkur,Nodero Feroz,Hayderabad and Jacobabad would have been developed cities competing with Karachi.
