Green Line, Orange Line BRT: Chinese company to provide 100 new energy buses
BEIJING: Zhongtong, one of the earliest listed bus manufacturers in China has secured an order to provide 100 units 18-meter new energy buses for Green Line and Orange Line Bust Rapid Transport (BRT) in Karachi.
As the first batch of new energy powered city buses in the city, they will serve on the Green-color and Orange-color BRT routes after their arrival, providing greener, more intelligent and more comfortable transportation services for local residents, according to a local media website here on Wednesday.
As the largest city in Pakistan, Karachi is also the economic hub in the country. With its strategic location and fast growing economy, the port city has been confronted with increasingly severe traffic congestions. Tweeting in Urdu from his official account recently, Federal Minister of Planning and Development Asad Umar informed about the completion of a prototype bus for Karachi’s Green Line Metrobus project.
It is currently being tested by the Chinese authorities for any mechanical and safety issues. Once the phase of the inspection is completed, a total of 80 buses will be shipped to Karachi and added to Green Line’s fleet. The mass transit project is expected to become operational in this year.
Green Line Bus Rapid Transit is a federal government project. It is the largest of all the other proposed metro bus routes in Karachi.
It is expected that after completion, it will facilitate over 300,000 passengers on a daily basis. Construction on the project started in January 2016 by the Karachi Infrastructural development Company (KIDC) and, nearly three years later, it is still underway.
Starting from Merewether Tower in the central part of the city, all the way up to Surjani Town in northern Karachi, the total length of Green Line BRT is 26 km.
According to the proposed map, it will be connected with the other proposed routes of the Trans Karachi Breeze project at different points.
It may be mentioned here that so far, Zhongtong’s new energy public transportation solutions have been greatly welcomed in South Korea, Argentina, Germany, Chile, Paraguay, Hungary, etc.
In addition, over 70,000 units Zhongtong new energy buses and coaches have been working smoothly across the globe, making a huge impact on the global drive on emission reductions.

Karachi's Green Line bus service to start from October: Umar
APP
August 10, 2021
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Asad Umar has said the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) service in Karachi will become operational by October this year.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan reviewed progress of five federal projects in Karachi transformation plan and Green line BRT will start from October this year,” he said in his tweet on Tuesday.
The federal minister said stormwater drains, sewage, and roads project would be completed this fiscal year.
In addition, he also said that construction of the K-IV water project, modern Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) and freight corridor projects would also start in this fiscal year.
The work on the Rs24 billion federal-funded project — conceived by the previous PML-N government — had started in February 2016 and was scheduled to finish before the general election in July 2018.
It is pertinent to mention here that on completion, Green Line will only cover one stretch of the city between North Karachi and Merewether Tower.
The Green Line is just one component of ‘Karachi Breeze’ — a project that comprises four more bus lines and promises a comprehensive transport solution in the city.

Not a fan of center lane isolated tracks design. Should've been on either sides of the road without fencing, see Sheffield trams. But well I'm not in bureaucracy and don't do commissions what do I know.

The production speed for infrastructure in Pakistan is really sad , so slow
A simple process to get 500 buses for biggest city in Pakistan can't be done unless the mega billion dollar infrastructure project is first approved , loans acquired and then slow construction
No bird brain , decided that you could have ordered 500-600 buses and just ran them on existing roads and constructed the infrastructure on side
I watch the KCR project videos instead of Army of 10,000 workers doing job in 7-10 days , I see 2-5 guys with shovels cleaning up tracks
2008 to 2021 , almost 13 years and they could not buy 500 buses in Sindh , unless the big ticket tracks and bus stops were constructed with loan taken from foreign sources
Such a project should be done/delivered in 6-15 months time , not take 13 years !!!
