No Buses to Stop

There is no second opinion that Karachi being one of the megalopolis of the world lacks a good public transport system may that be inclusive of Buses & Trains or BRT & LRT readily available in most countries of the world.

Some schemes have been planned in the past and quite recently the Green Line BRT by the Federal Government. The details of the project can be found at: http://www.kidcl.com.pk/project-profile/

The project has to be undertaken by Government of Pakistan/ Ministry of Communications as a high priority project as determined by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in their Feasibility Study conducted for Karachi Transportation Improvement Project (KTIP, 2030) in December, 2012.

 


















Local Government, (Karachi) initiated a CNG Bus project but it is almost non existence, and for the same purpose several state of the art small Bus Stops were constructed along strategic routes.

These Bus Stops are in most cases not being utilized and have been vandalized by the general public. It is a share waste of taxpayers money. People who have spent millions in the procurement and possible launch of the project should be held accountable. 

While some are only used as makeshifts office of local ambulance services while others are being used as marketing billboards.

Karachi, needs to have a good Public Transport which is evident from the various Government Reports: https://www.dawn.com/news/1323617

These Bus Stops can be used more effectively but it cannot be done alone, nowadays there is a huge possibility of Public and the Private to work together under the Public Private Partnership endeavors.
