This Metro Bus project will be short run, it wouldn't be long. This bus will be suspended soon when we had seen many previous projects.

Hopefully subway project start soon.

^ i still think the Buses are from China, u can see seat cushion in Chinese language ..

depends on which logo the bus using.
the bus is 100% from shanghai sunwin

Shanghai Sunwin Bus Corporation (SUNWIN) is a Joint Venture invested by SAIC Motor Co., Ltd. (SAIC Motor), Volvo (China) Investment Corp. (VIC) and Volvo Bus Corp.

sunwin using two different LOGO , one of them is volvo logo,another one is sunwin logo. similar example is lenovo and IBM

which logo does this bus using?

 

[VelocuR]

Volvo definitely from China.

see logo.

According to officials, buses have been dispatched by the manufacturing company, Volvo China, to Pakistan. The fleet costs over Rs1.260 billion whereas each bus is Rs28 million. As soon as the ships dock at Karachi seaport, a technical team of the Punjab government would go there to deal with unloading, and custom clearance issues.

Who is Turkish doing in this project???

get rid them.

Sorry i don't want to indulge into political discussion & always try my best to avoid it, but the same was said when MM was completed, leaving political rivalry apart one should give credit where its due...

Agreed. Every time a poor person gets benefits like these, you should give credit to where it's deserved. Actually, in the world bank, the Punjab gov't has more and stronger reputation than Islamabad. They've audited many projects and have serious program coordinators watching money being spent. So far, they know there is corruption but it's not out of the threshold. What that means is that common person will get the benefit the money is allocated for and there is less than 15% corruption in the entire program. Which is definitely a LOT lower than corruption in other program being run the gov't in Islamabad. I think your leaders need to work for you guys, the People of Pakistan. Not for their pockets. But this Bus system is GREAT for Pakistan's common citizen.

but illiterate masses will ruin the buses in few days...just not long ago brand new buses were imported for Lahore transportation and now you see them ...sides hit by some foolish rikshaw drivers .... writings by some govt college students ....and what not......these foolish people always force others to think that they dont deserve these ....they are better with those new khan buses which are like half dead and with some pieces of body disappeared

 

[imperialmen]

Why not convert this bus corridor into tramways? And use trams? They are cheaper, have more capacity and efficient right? This a general question I am asking. Instead of dedicated bus corridors, why not lay light tracks on them for trams?

HAHA height of jealousy can be seen from inquilabi's of PTI.
This thread is about Metro bus project nobody asked you whom you vote or how much corruption ganja party do, thats the reason PTI is failed party, you people can't differentiate between politics and development na moqa dekha, na jaga dekhe jidher dil kia chudar chudar shoru kar di.

look at these buses running in lahore

Lahore is a larger city than New York or Los Angeles! It has 11 million citizens living in it! This is almost twice as many as whole state of Israel!!! It is good thing that such a mega public transportation project is developed in Lahore. Already alot of bridges, parks , and other infrastructure is being built in this mega city and cultural heart on the region.

Regarding indians who are saying sh!t on this project, well they are losers (duhh...what else a poor inferiority-complex stricken hindu can be? ) ..indian cities like mumbai are toilet as compared to Pakistani cities..and these indians are mad that their own infrastructure suck ( See the pics of shitty Ahmadabad Metro Bus system..lmao! As one Indian member rightly said, Lahore's mega Metro Bus Transit System puts indian counterparts to shame)...

Lahore has way larger area as compared to sh!tty mumbai...but mumbai has way more people in it. Tells you the situation of indian cities..doesn't it? lmao!

Population of Lahore is much more then this. Government is hiding the figures.

Keep in mind 4 years ago they use to say population of Lahore is 12 million with a growth rate of 4.5% now suddenly it is decreased even though its population was growing.
