For decades, there has been no better transport facility for the citizens of Karachi. Citizens of Karachi are forced to travel in dilapidated private buses. Whenever public transport is mentioned in Karachi, dozens of people can be seen hanging from the roof fence. Smoke and pollution. Broken roads. This metropolitan city of Pakistan still lacks good transport facilities Better transportation is a citizen's right۔
Metrobus Lahore.
In 2013, when Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif inaugurated the Lahore Metro Bus, the era of modern transport facility began in the country and then the Islamabad Metro Bus Orange Line train project. These plans were criticized by the opposition but all these plans proved to be the best for the common man and the PML-N government gained immense popularity from it. Later, the then opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) launched the BRT Peshawar project in its Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which was ruled by the PTI.
Therefore, in Sindh too, there was pressure on the Sindh government to facilitate public transport.
Sindh Chief Minister's BRT
When Qaim Ali Shah was the Chief Minister of Sindh. At the time when metro bus service was started in Lahore and Islamabad, there was a lot of pressure on the Sindh government to start a public transport project. Former Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah removed the old buses called by Karachi Mayor Mustafa Kamal from the transport warehouses and drove them on the roads.
The city's broken roads, jumps and traffic could not be tolerated by these buses. One by one, these buses started returning to their warehouses and garages. The Sindh government could not provide any transport facility to the citizens. The current BRT Karachi project was also launched by the federal government.
Who started the Green Line bus project?
This was in 2015 when a study was conducted on Karachi's public transport which proved to be in poor condition. The then Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif laid the foundation stone of the Green Line Rapid Bus Service project in 2016. Which was to be completed by the end of 2017. At that time, it was estimated at 16.85 billion Pakistani rupees, but at that time, at the suggestion of the Sindh government, its runway was extended by another 10 km, which increased its cost to 24 billion Pakistani rupees. Later, the government changed and the project is now nearing completion after a four-year delay. Some of its routes and stations remain to be worked on.
Karachi Circular Railway KCR
Last year, the Circular Railway was partially operated by Pakistan Railways in Karachi. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has repeatedly ordered the operationalization of the KCR. This transport facility became available to the citizens of Karachi in November 2020 when the court strictly ordered to start KCR.

A one-way ticket from KCR Korangi station to Pipri costs Rs. 50. The train has a capacity of 500 passengers but has very few passengers.
Metro Bus Orange Train and other public transport companies that were started earlier are running in deficit, on which the federal government and the provinces have to pay billions of rupees in subsidies annually.
Now let's see if this bus service of a city which contributes a large share of revenue to the national economy also benefits or harms the country.
