Good points PK1 Sb. I think if we see more developments on multi-purpose and economic zone near Rawat, then these projects will also be picked up - and possibly an upgrade to Islamabad Express Way to add more lanes. All of these are connected so lets see.
Is it worth if for the Prime Minister of a country of 180 million to make his priority an ordinary city bus service. If it was a real metro may be it could be understood but even then the country has many serious problems and the PM has time for this. How?
Metro Bus project in rawalpindi is looked after by Punjab Government PMLN ( Mian Shahbaz Sharif). It has nothing to do with PM Nawaz Sharif. Another thing; PM sb has lots of time to travel in different cities to promote youth loan scheme. Do you think youth loan scheme is really that important to solve the serious problems of our country?
Metro is a cheap project than ring road. 100 billion is required for ring road while lahore metro was only a 32 billion project. If ring road project will start it will take at least ten years to complete while metro because of usage of existing roads will take about two years to complete. That’s why PMLN will definitely go for metro.
Very Nice, but, do you think this project plan is final now ?
There is no comparison between ring road and metro bus service. Whole city take the benefit from ring road whereas metro bus is specific for one route only. Metro bus can not reduce the traffic load whereas ring road can significantly reduce traffic load inside city. You cannot collect the money from metro bus instead you have to give subsidy for this project wbereas gou can collect money from ring road through toll plaza. Government sbould plan for the future. If Punjab Govt wants they can manage ring road in five years but the question is if they want.
One more point for sharing. Ome of the PMLN strong minister wants ring road because his land would be substantially benefit from this wbereas CM prefers metro bus because it will give them more pllotical benefit. Lets see who convince who...
