The most recent infrastructure upgrades in Karachi, such as the building of underpasses and flyovers, have increased the local real estate value tremendously while also making it much simpler than ever before to move around the city. The traffic situation in the city is anticipated to get much better with the start of many BRT projects under the Trans Karachi Breeze banner. The provincial authorities are now preparing the Orange Line BRT project for public usage following the successful launch of the Green Line Bus service by the federal government.
ORANGE LINE KARACHI– STATE OF THE ART PUBLIC TRANSPORT PROJECT IN KARACHI
Let’s find out more about Karachi’s most eagerly awaited public transportation project, the Orange Line Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS).
The Orange Line bus service is perhaps the shortest BRT initiative in the entire nation, measuring a total of 3.9 kilometres. This metro bus concept is based on a fleet of 18 buses and is intended to accommodate more than 50,000 passengers daily. The city’s Green Line BRT, another massive transportation project under development, combines with the Orange Line BRT at the AO Chowk Terminal. Recently, the Karachi Orange Line Metrobus Project was renamed the Abdul Sattar Edhi Line in honour of Abdul Sattar Edhi, one of the finest humanitarians to ever live.
BACKGROUND OF ORANGE LINE KARACHI
The Orange Line bus project in Karachi, inaugurated in 2016, was previously anticipated to be finished in a couple of years, but the project’s poor pace led to a number of delays in its inauguration. The good news is that the Abdul Sattar Edhi Line is almost ready for launch, and Karachi residents are eagerly awaiting the announcement of that launch.
ORANGE LINE KARACHI ROUTE
The Abdul Sattar Edhi Line goes through the centre of Orangi Town in Karachi, from AO Chowk in Nazimabad to Nishan-e-Haider Chowk. There will be four stations along the 3.9 kilometre circuit, each built at a distance of 1 kilometre. The Orange Line track is a component of a massive BRT system that, according to its master design, will span over 150 kilometres throughout Karachi.
