O'Bahn, An Idea Pakistan Should consider?

[Pakhtoon yum]

Not convert, but modify by adding concrete edges as in the pictures so that both trains and buses can run on the same track. the added cost would be concrete and improved signals. The buses could run on the same power as the trains or their own power depending on which ever is more feasible.

you don't have to lose the track or modify the train track for the train

the buses have special rollers on the side to guide them along this concrete lining at maximum speed.

Its the "Duo Bus System" in the German city of Essen. while that line is used by buses and trams, we should study it between our regular trains and metro-buses. From this video you can see the tram and the bus are running on the same line.

Yes, but our priorities should be what I have mentioned. Subways and trains.

In punjabi we have saying "Pallay nai tela tay kardi mela mela", "Her pockets/purses are empty, yet she is hell bent on visiting mela", the sense is first look at your pocket and then on your dream or wish list. Indeed "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride".

Subways? It will be very costly to go underground by building the required infrastructure. Also, we need to build proper drainage system in case of rain. It has to be properly designed by foreign company as i don't trust Pakistani companies. If that doesn't workout, we can implement elevated trains in big cities. I am favor of building new cities with modern master plan that will include mass transportation system, Metro Buses, metroRail (for inner city) and fast/bullet train system between cities and modern train ticketing system

Here are some video and pictures from Endia. They may not have toilet in the north but the south is more technological advance with vast modern transit system.
