is this project ever going to finish

These projects take time. The city I live in Toronto, it took them a decade just to add 5 more stations to extend an existing line. Granted the subway line was underground, but big ticket infrastructure projects always have time and budget overruns. Once it is constructed it will significantly benefit the people of Lahore.


I hope more such metro lines are initiated in not just Lahore but also in other cities.

The right question is can we in our present situation can afford massive subsidies for its day to day operation.

101% Wrong. Not only we are in no position to payback its loan but also its Interest & massive subsidies to make this project feasible for common man.
Other then that you have Metro Bus. how much benefits it has given to us. Nill. Still Occasional traffic jam & Ambulance stuck in traffic as Metro Track is empty.
Improvement is not Because of Metro but because of signal free road Bridges/U-Turn.

I hope more such metro lines are initiated in not just Lahore but also in other cities.

You do understand what you are hoping????
Its like you don't have money to pay your house expense neighbors refused or place harsh condition for little amount of money.
& You hope to Buy a Super Car.


Only small number of peoples will use such nonsense project that too with Huge Subsidies annually.

The money should have been better used if Lahore is turn in to Signal Free and all broken road repaired.
Benefits>
1>Less Imported Fuel
2> Less time on Roads
3> less wear and tear of vehicles

Underground subway would be a full diaster for us and the "intezamiya". See our country have heavy rainfall in monsoon this water in get fill it subway and thus destroy the whole infrastructure. This maybe possible after proper sewerage system have been operationalized.

The testing phase is mandatory ahead of the operation (opening for the public at large) that is scheduled to be launched in December, according to official sources privy to the project. It would continue until the launch of the train service.
