Pakistan’s First Metro Bus Test Drive in Lahore

[aks18]

^^ Buses are new and not used, they come fresh from Volvo plant in China, and money is invested by Turkey.
When we ride these buses the money will be owned by the investor.. of course with agreed terms and conditions.
Punjab govt. has organised swift construction, no technical advise came from any state... as far construction work is concerned, however Turkey did advise the basic lay out of design & operation.
Pakistan contractors are building it and all the design and detailed engineering is done locally.
Trust me Pakistan can build roads, bridges and underpasses without any consultation.
Bottom line.. correct your facts.

Metro bus project is purely invested by punjab govt non of turkish company is investing in it,, if turkey is financing the project then why the project is divided among 4 other pakistani companies why not turkish company build it on its own :S

Project is only financed by Turkish investors built by Pakistani contractors... as i have already stated.

In addition the Mayor of Istanbul have gifted 100 buses.

Anti Pak-Turk relation elements.. are already raising objections to the profit going to Turkish investors, during operation.

Someone please explain to me what is a "Metro Bus"? I know all kind of Metro's, never heard of this particular variety!

Metro is a city, bus is a bus
so my guess metro bus is a bus that runs in the city, the reason you never heard of it is because Turkey might have different word for it. In Toronto its called GO Bus. you might have heard the word Go but never heard of this variety!

money is invested by punjab govt turkey just gave the used buses for freee and giving technical support in this project like ticketing system and other stuff , after 18 amendment CM of provinces have almost same rights that are of prime minister and not to forget punjab is the richest province of pakistan in means of GDP industries and its back bone of pakistan's economy... not to forget lahore ring road project is more expensive then this metro bus project .. shahbaz sharif divided such projects in to different packages and aloted to different companies cz if the project cost exceed from a specific amount then it comes under fedral govt but shahbaz sharif cleverly developed ring road and now metro bus

So turkey is in it for fun not money!!
another brother Islamic country giving free stuff to Pakistan
bhai hoon to aesey hoon

The bus system is a good step to solve the transportation problem in Lahore. However I think the earlier LRMTS was better. Rapid public transportation should be either below or under the traffic flow(Underground or overground), not adjacent or parallel to it. This is just my opinion.

it's overground... you can follow the thread...

This is definitely good step... all over the pakistan such systems should be launched...

No offence , but the infrastructure looks cheap .. specially the metal works ..
I love the busses but the bust stops , look so flaky that they will fall apart in 3-4 years

The tiny fragile rods that used in the infrastructure , and weilded them together in Pakistani weather these will catch rust in 1-2 years these look really very questionable


No Usage of Concrete , No usage of Glasswork , No usage of Tiles and beautificaion ,
No Digital Boards to show arrival or departure of busses, the Ticket Machines look horrible
Instead of beautiful Machines , No Usage of Solar Pannels on Bus stations for Lights

Looks like a Project done in haste for Votes



Comparing it with

Also the bus seats looks very cheap and uncomfortable


The only plus point is that the buses are Extened long version of buses however the buse`s glass should not be paintedover that looks

TACKY ..I mean .. real ****** stuff...

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

There is also a pink bus service in Lahore designed for transporting just women and a family bus service planned to be run on weekends

Like what is this , instead of tinting the glasses they painted it ...I mean come on yar , brand new bus .. and you do this

Why don`t the ladies wear hijab instead of the bus wearing face paint

Tainted busses are also a security hazard as you would not know if a robbery or crime is taking place in bus in broad day light

Just my 2 cents for the brliant planners of our Metro cities
