Rail-bus; Interim Solution for the Karachi Circular Railway?

Federal government should buy the land from Sindh government.
I would avoid Chinese and go with Japan or Korean company. Let them bring their resources to design and build the whole circular railway. (keep the high court and Supreme Court away from this project). Give them 60% ownership ship, 40% can go to federal government. Whoever they hire as the subcontractor, they will make sure that all the work is done properly. Once project is completed and the system is operational, let them operate and manage it. It will finish on time without any delays and it will be build with top priority and best standards.

Japanese are already interested in this project, or at least they were 5 to 8 years ago.

I agree it should either be a Japanese or a Korean Company, so that it can be compared with the Lahore Metro-Train, and it keep any differences in management visible. Also, with different investors, different lines of credit can be used.

The Rail-bus was a solution to get the ball rolling and get the Japanese interested in the project again. As well as rebuilding other routes based on demand; such as the Sargodha-Faisalabad-Lahore Route.
