Islamabad (Web Desk): The federal government has approved construction of the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit System for Karachi.
“The project is approved subject to cost rationalisation,” said a handout issued by the planning and development ministry, after the mega project cleared its first hurdle on Friday when the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) gave it the green signal.
The project, which will be fully funded by the federal government, will now be tabled in the Executive Committee of National Economic Council (Ecenc) for final approval. Once completed in approximately two years, the project will benefit nearly 400,000 passengers per day.
The Green Line will be constructed from Municipal Park, Saddar to K-Electric Power House Chowrangi, Surjani Town.
Old buses, re-assembled from scratch, and rickshaws are the major sources of public transport available in Karachi.
The Metro Bus Service will bring a good change in the lives of the people of Karachi.
