After almost six years since its groundbreaking, the federal-funded Green Line Bus Rapid Transit Service #BRTS) is set to become operational with all 80 buses of its fleet ready to shuttle between Surjani Town and Numaish Chowrangi.
The mega project suffered many hiccups over the period and the delay caused it to incur almost double the cost.
The fare table is likely to ranging from Rs15 to Rs55 depending on distance..

The Supreme Court has ordered that the 17-acre Askari Park be returned to the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).
The petition concerning Askari Park was heard on Monday at the Supreme Court Karachi Registry before a bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed and comprised of Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed.
The counsel represented the Army’s Five Corps. He claimed that in 2001, the vegetable market was relocated. Under Musharraf, a plea was made to repair the park. “According to the deal, the park was given to the defence agency.” According to the news, marriage halls have been shuttered.”
The park was entrusted to the army for non-occupation, according to the chief justice. “You have been tasked with protecting the entire country of Pakistan.” “Did you get a park for commercial purposes?” inquired the CJP.

Whole Karachi is khandar thanks to military ppp and pmln partnership. Pti is just a military bitch. Mqm is a punching bag of military used to dump trash.

NED University of Engineering & Technology (NED) and Global Soccer Ventures (GSV) signed a 10-year agreement to establish Pakistan’s first soccer city stadium in Karachi, reported.
Under the agreement, the German engineers will develop a series of football infrastructure projects in Karachi including the construction of a state-of-art football stadium.
The stadium will be equipped with all FIFA’s world-class facilities. The innovative stadium is designed by a German firm, read the press release issued by a company.
“NED University wants to be at the forefront of science and technology as well as football,” said VC NED.

A new and unknown world of mass transit opened up for Karachiites as the Green Line bus service became fully operational on Monday. As many as 80 buses could be spotted moving towards Surjani Town from Numaish and the other way around from 7am till 10pm.
For now one can get tickets in two ways one of which is going to the ticketing booth and pay Rs55 for a ticket for whether you are travelling to the station ahead or to all 22 stations. But another better and economical way is to buy a Rs100 card which can be topped up. As you reach a station to get off, the machines there will deduct your fare as per kilometer of your traveling.

BRT................................
Passengers say they prefer standing in the new bus over being seated in the old and rusty wagons
The Green Line BRT, which is the city’s first mass transit system, has been greeting hordes of citizens following inauguration earlier this month.
Owing to the overwhelming rush of commuters, many excited about boarding the shiny, new bus service must wait in long queues on weekends as well as weekdays, before fetching a ticket.
The passengers maintain that the federal government should also consider starting a shuttle bus service leading to Tower and improve its fare system. “This will not only make the BRT service more successful but also make it easier for passengers to travel,” opined one commuter.
The federal government completed Phase I of Green Line BRT in Karachi on December 25th last year, and made it operational from Surjani Town to Namaish Chowrangi. Initially, the bus was run from 8 am to 12 noon, but operations were later extended from 7 am to 10 pm, after which the service has seen an exponential growth in traffic.
According to Green Line Senior Manager Abdul Aziz, a single bus can accommodate a total of 240 commuters, with seating space for 140 of them.
Talking about the service’s popularity with the public, he said that queues of passengers begin lining up to board the bus as early as 8:00 am, but the service sees its greatest inflow of passengers during office hours.
“So far, the number of passengers on the week days has been around 30,000 to 40,000, but on weekends the number tends to jump to 50,000,’ he informed.
The long queues or lack or tight space on the bus has however done little to deter the Green Line’s passengers, who indicate a clear preference for the modern bus service as opposed to traditional public buses.
