Karachi Metro Bus project
ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Thursday approved the Karachi Metro Bus project with a modified design and revised cost as it green-lighted ten mega development schemes worth Rs157 billion.
ECNEC approved the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit System for Karachi worth Rs16.1 billion. The project will see buses run on the Green Line from Municipal Park Saddar to Power House Chowrangi in Surjani Town, a 21 kilometre long journey. The project will not only cut the length of the route by 3.2 Km but also excluded the component of procurement of air-conditioned buses from the federal financing.
After Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced to fund the project out of the federal kitty, the Sindh government had sought Rs27.5 billion for construction of 21 kilometre long project and buying 105 buses at a cost of Rs4.1 billion. However, the buses will now be bought by the provincial government.
According to the revised design, a 17.8 km long 2-lane dedicated signal free Bus Rapid Transit corridor will be constructed in Karachi. After completion, an estimated 400,000 passengers will stand to benefit from it every day.

Lots of photos of air conditioned buses since last 1-2 years. How are are you managing them? In Mumbai, only some AC buses running on select routes and they mostly run empty and are in loss because of high ticket rates. If Pakistan has similar per capita income I wonder how your cities afford running AC buses. May be because of lower petroleum price? Or are they subsidized and better managed.

Iran-Pakistan gas project to be completed in two phases
ISLAMABAD: While admitting its failure to complete Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline Project on time, Pakistan on Monday reaffirmed its commitment to the visiting Iranian minister to complete the project in two phases.
“Pakistan has been unable to complete the projects on its side due to international sanctions on Iran,” said Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi here at the sidelines of the 19th session of the Pakistan-Iran Joint Economic Commission (JEC).
Mr Abbasi informed the visiting Iranian Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance, Dr. Ali Taieb Nia that despite Pakistan’s best efforts banks, international contractors and equipment suppliers were not ready to be involved in this project.
The minister was accompanied, among others, by the governor general of Sistan and the Ambassador of Iran to Pakistan.
“We are now planning to complete this project in two steps. First, we are installing LNG terminal at Gawadar Port and secondly, a 42-inch pipeline of 700km length will be laid from Gawadar to Nawabshah for onward transmission of gas to the northern parts of the country,” Mr Abbasi said.
The minister informed the visiting delegation that Pakistan is in talks with Chinese companies for construction of this pipeline and the 70km portion of the pipeline from Gawadar to Iran border will be completed by Pakistani companies.
He hoped that this project will start in the near future. There is hardly any trade in oil between Pakistan and Iran, the minister said, adding Pakistan wanted to increase trade substantially after the sanction issue was closed.
Dr Ali Taieb Nia has said that Iran has already completed its part of the gas project and hoped Pakistan will fulfill its commitment to complete its part of the project.
He expressed his desire the Iranian gas should flow into Pakistan soon so that Pakistan may be able to overcome its energy shortfall.
Dr Ali informed that Iran’s negotiations with the international community on nuclear issue have been successful and hoped that the applicable sanctions will be removed very soon.
He further expressed his hope that with the removal of international sanctions, Iran’s trade volume and economic relations with its neighbors will further improve.
JOINT ECONOMIC COMMISSION: On the first day of the meeting, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said top leadership of both the countries was serious in taking the relationship to a new level.
“We have endeavored to materialize what our leadership feels. We will not only try to expand the existing trade, economic and bilateral ties in other areas, but also make efforts to stabilise them,” Dar said while co-chairing the meeting with his Iranian counterpart.
Regarding sanctions against Iran, Dar said Pakistan supports Iran on the international fora and argued with the world community to open trade with Iran on humanitarian goods.
Iranian Minister for Finance Dr Ali Taieb Ni reciprocated the feelings and said that he was pleased to be in Pakistan to lead his side at the JEC.
He also expressed resolve to cooperate with Pakistan in the areas of energy import, transport and communications, mining, agriculture, health and banking sector development, through a comprehensive framework agreement.
The JEC will discuss issues of banking problems with Iran due to sanctions imposed by the US and UN; Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project to expedite its implementation, up-gradation of Quetta-Taftan railway track and improvement of Noshki-Dalbandin section of N-40 Highway.
On the import of energy from Iran, both sides will also discuss the import of 74MW power from Iran for Mekran Division, Balochistan; 100MW from Iran to Gwadar and 1000MW from Iran for Balochistan and the national grid.
