There might be some truth in it but not the whole truth. Perhaps you are unaware of the history of Pakistan Railways which ran in profit till first government of PPP in the senventies since partition. Then came a dictator who snatched away the lucrative frieght market of railways by installing NLC. Perhaps railways never earned profit from passenger services since its inception because Britishers built the railway for strategic purposes only such as movement of troops .

Not only the dictator creating this corrupt department (NLC) corrupting military officials, but he also switched the development capital budget to his newly created organization. Its corruption cases, audit irregulairties are still alive, Google it. Then came another dictator who hammered the last nail in the coffin of Railways when his generals heading railways, purchased defective rolling stock from china which railway had to bear the cost of not only these defective equipment but also re-modelled all the platforms on the system incurring billions in losses. Zillat awam ko jinon ne di hay un ko koso. If Bilour has no experience of Railways, then what BA pass judge sitting in the airconditioned room had any knowedge about this complex and technical department? Will you care to explain?

When Indian railways 10 times larger than PR run by state can run with profit why not PR?

What dictator? I myself had been using the railways for a dozen of years and saw how the crappy, dirty and crappy railways were transformed to something much more efficient during mushy’s era. While previously 2-3 engine breakdowns and arriving 5-6 hours later was the norm, during mushy rule, the maximum delay I experienced in neat and clean trains was never more than 20 minutes.

So for me, a dictator provided much better services than these nasty democracies.
