Orange Metro Train to be connected with Metro Bus, Railway Station
LAHORE: For achieving the objectives of Mass Transit System in the provincial metropolis, the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train will be connected with the Lahore Metro Bus System (Green Line) as well as the Lahore Railway Station by constructing two special walkways for pedestrians.
Advisor to Chief Minister Punjab and Chairman of the Steering Committee for the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train Project (LOMTP) Ahmad Hassan informed on Friday, that the Lahore Development Authority would execute this project at a cost of Rs 2.75 billion.
He said that an underpass would be constructed for connecting the underground Anarkali Station of Orange Line, being constructed at Jain Mandir area, with the M.A.O College station of Lahore Metro Bus. Pedestrians will be able to embark or disembark from one mode of transport for getting ride on the other one by using this walkway.
Similarly, a 40-feet elevated ‘walkulator’ (moving walkway) will be installed for connecting Lahore Railway Station with the Bohrwala Chowk Station of Orange Line Metro Train at Nichelson Road.
Passengers intending to move between these two locations will not have to walk a step for this purpose. They will be able to go from one point to the other just by standing on this moving ‘walkulator’, he informed.
He said that the LDA had invited applications for pre-qualification of engineering firms and contractors, willing to execute the project by September 9, 2017.
