Traffic Units per km of route of PR is less than 1/5th of Indian Railways.

PR carries less than 5% of containers handled at the ports.

Planned investment on railways was 149 Billion whereas actual investment for the period was just 44 billion.
In the same period 155 billion was invested in national highways.

The upkeep and maintenance of Highways costs three times than that of railways.

Bahauddin Zakariya Express, Khwaja Fareed Express, Khushal Khan Khattak Express, Bolan Express, Pakistan Express and Allama Iqbal Express are running without working power plants i.e. without fan and lights.

Pakistan Railways needs good investment to Buy locomotives,to upgrade tracks, coaches, routes, stations and services.

Question is from where the money will come? How to generate funds for Railways?

Pakistan Railways must only concentrate on freight. From ports and airports to all over the country.

Transit could also act as a boon for Railways.A transit route to Central Asian countries from Pakistani ports and India-Iran route. Both have huge potential and can yeild huge revenues.

When you have money, you can provide facilities to passengers and you can run fast passenger trains on time which inturn increasing Traffic volumes and revenues.

In India, freight are the source of revenues for IR.Passenger fares are almost contant for many years. For a container From mumbai to Delhi it takes nearly 3 days by road and IR take around 1 day.This is where railways make a difference.

Passenger traffic is nothing before Indian Railway. Pakistan Railways run some 100 trains daily whereas Indian Railway run 14,000 daily for passenger services only. You can see the wide difference.

Its better to compare IR and PR in rates . considering the geographical size and extent of the railways that more fairer.............
