Should've been underground. Land will be limited in future and wasting it for train tracks is not a good idea. Management of cities like Karachi and Lahore should focus on having underground projects. Focus on constructing high rise buildings should also be prioritized.

Not Possible to construct entire trans system underground with the messy unplanned way Pakistani cities have spanned and expanded, would need to demolish entrie areas for that displacing hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. Gotta work around what we have.

What about under the roads? Most of NYC Subway system is underground and NYC is known for highrise buildings. Only the access ways to the subway stations should be on the sidewalks/footpaths.

Will atleast triple the cost now, NYC subway like london underground was built a long long time a go. I like underground too yet i dont think its applicable on a grand scale in Lahore which will consequently need atleast 6-7 more metro lines in the next decade to manage transport of the city to acceptable levels atleast, dont forget these metro's r bieng built on loans so cost effectiveness is THE deciding factor here.

Pakistan can benefit from it's cheap labor and starting from scratch though. It will benefit Pakistan heavily in the long run.

Yes we can go for underground in cities that are forming up now like gawadar n labour cost is a big positive for Pak yet the cost of orange line stands at 2 bil dollars as of now, going underground will elevate it to atleast 5 bill, its all on loans we have to pay back.

Pakistan should remain on ground, neither should go under ground and neither hang in the air.
We are neither London nor Dubai, that we face shortage of land.
80% of houses in Lahore are dangerous to live and almost 99% lack any documentation on construction quality.
We should abandon or demolish old houses and start all over again.
Instead of building 'jangla bus' we should mark the roads and enforce traffic regulations, so that traffic must flow together with public transport buses, just like London & Dubai.

I think the cost of Orange line is high due to import of labor from China as well as cost of security for these labor. The other lines should plan to use Pakistani labor completely so they can save $$ as well as gain some experience for future projects. The saved money should be enough to plan underground project.

I have few friends from Sialkot and they told me that Sialkot Airport was build by donations from local people, why don't Lahore and Karachi does the same. They can fund their projects this way instead of taking the burden of loans.
