Karachi Metro Bus

I landed in Karachi after 25 years, left Pak when I was 3 brought up in Kuwait and then in UK. You can imagine my feelings when I stepped out of Jinnah terminal, It was an absolute mad house!!!!!

In my opinion what Karachi need most is some good scrubbing and cleaning that should be the top priority.

Planning Minister Asad Umar has said that the Green Line Bus project in Karachi finally appears close to its completion as its commercial operation is to begin from December 25.

In a tweet, Umar said that the project will be ready for a trial operation within the next 10 days, following which it will be formally inaugurated by Prime Minister Imran Khan and then its commercial activities could begin.

"I conducted a detailed review of the Karachi Green Line project yesterday (Saturday). With the grace of Allah, this project will be ready for trial operation in the next 10 days," he added.

Earlier, Sindh Governor Iman Ismaeel said that the Green Line project was being constructed with federal funding. He stated that travel in these buses will be very comfortable. He lamented that it is very unfortunate that the provincial government had not been able to bring a single bus to Karachi in 13 years and people were forced to travel in bad buses.

Imran Ismail appreciated the efforts made by SIDCL in ensuring completion of Green Line project within its timelines. He added that the dedicated Corridor will serve some of Karachi's most populated areas, namely Surjani Town to Gurumandir and Numaish Chowrangi.

On October 4, the test run of the Green Line BRT began on 23km route (Surjani Town to Numaish Chowrangi) after the PTI-led federal government inaugurated its trial operation.

At least, 40 buses for the Green Line project arrived in the city in October, raising the number of buses to 80. It is supposed to facilitate travel of approximately 300,000 passengers daily.

Karachi's Green Line BRT project with intersections is 24km long which includes 12.7km elevated, 10.9km at grade, and 422 meters underground, and has 25 stations. The phase-II common corridor from Gurumandir up to Municipal Park with a length of 2.5km has two underpasses at M A Jinnah Road.

Umar had said that that a comprehensive Command and Control Centre had been established for the projects including Green Line, Orange Line, etc. He said that the Green Line was the first state-of-the-art project, which was being introduced to the city with 20.5 kilometre long corridor. A bus depot had been built for 80 buses whereas 22 bus stations had been completed.

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Friday has inaugurated first phase of long-awaited Green Line Bus project in Karachi.

The project, completed at a huge cost of 35.5 billion rupees, is a valuable gift by the federal government for the people of Sindh, particularly the residents of Karachi.

Green Line Bus Rapid Transit System project will provide modern travel facilities to one hundred and thirty five thousand passengers daily in the western and central districts of Karachi, making their access to Central Business District easy and safe.

This service comprises 80 hybrid buses and the fare is expected to be between Rs15 and Rs55. The passengers can buy tickets through mobile application, debit and credit cards.

Green Line Bus service will be on trial till December 25. This project connects 22 stations between Surjani Town and Numaish Chowrangi.

The project has been implemented by the Ministry of Planning and Development through Sindh Infrastructure Development Company on the special interest of Minster for Planning and Development Asad Umar.

Later, addressing the ceremony, Prime Minister of Pakistan (PM) Imran Khan said that until the management system of Karachi is not improved, bringing modernization to the city will be difficult.

The ceremony was attended by number of politicians including Governor Sindh Imran Ismail, Federal Minster Asad Umar, and Javed Qureshi.

PM further said that Karachi was the city of lights. We saw the city of lights getting deteriorated. The administration of the city never thought to introduce transport system.

Moreover, he said that the government will soon introduce modernization to the city and soon Karachi will be able to touch abodes of prosperity and success. He went on to add that China owns a modern system and even after numerous restrictions in Iran, Tehran is the modern city. No fund from PSDP is send to Tehran. It produced $500 million on its own.

Meanwhile on the occasion, Federal Minister for Planning, Development, Reforms and Special Initiatives Asad Umar said that “Surrey Mahal” or flats in London were not being built in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government but the tax payers money is being spent for the betterment of the masses.
He said that Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is just a kid and he shouldn’t be taken seriously.

The minister said that the Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway will be inaugurated in the next three months, while work on Gujjar and Orangi nullahs have been 50 percent completed.
