• Orange Line Fare Needs to be Rs. 285 Per Head to Avoid Any Losses: Gill
  
  LESCO informed the government that the Orange Line train will consume Rs. 25 million worth of electricity daily to run uninterrupted. This means that Punjab will have to pay an electric bill of a whopping Rs. 750 million every month for this ‘white elephant’ project that only serves on a 27-kilometer short track. This is besides the other operational and management costs.

  Note that Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar-led Punjab government had refused to give Rs. 10 billion subsidies for the project, saying that they would rather fund government schools and hospitals with this fund.
  In a provincial cabinet meeting earlier this week, it was revealed that the government will have to pay an additional Rs. 10 billion annual subsidies even if it keeps the ticket price at Rs. 60 per trip.

  اورنج لائن ٹرین کا قرض واپس کرنے کےلیے اربوں روپےسالانہ دینےپڑیں گے، اور اگر 60روپےکا ٹکٹ بھی رکھیں تو صرف ٹرین کو چلانے(O&M) کےلیے 10 ارب سالانہ سبسڈی دینی پڑےگی
  
  کیا ہم اس رقم سےہسپتال و سکول چلائیں یا یہ سبسڈی دیں؟ کابینہ نےفیصلہ اسمبلی بھیجا ہےتاکہ عوامی نمائندوں کافیصلہ آئے
  
  Refusing to approve such a hefty amount for a single project, it decided to send back the matter to Punjab Assembly for further deliberation.
  
  On a separate occasion, former spokesperson for CM Buzdar, Shahbaz Gill, had revealed that the government will have to fix the ticket fare at Rs. 285 per head to run Orange Train without any loss. Even in this case, Rs. 6.5 billion alone will go in the interest payment on the debt obtained for the project.

PTI-led government should not subsidize this white elephant.

One of the greatest examples of misplaced priorities of the previous government.

 

[Syed1.]

Should take over Jati Umra and sell it to highest bidder.... That will probably earn enough to run this white elephant for 3-4 years.

Make a small Solar Power Plant to run the project on both depotsoof Orange Line

Rather then look for the solution the government starts crying on these projects while inaugurate the hospitals made by previous governments and takes credits for that LMAO

250 Bed Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Hospital Muzaffargarh hospital is the example of it
