Re: Lahore Metro Train : Orange Line

As i said same bakwas was done in 92, same bakwas will continue to happen, losers will be losers, haters will be haters, time has come to move on. Agree or not, accept it or not, like it or not, you and I both are irrelevant, I will let populace decide whether the project is good or not, empty statistics that are reflective or day or two are no way representative of life cycle but again it doesnt matter what you choose to believe or not! Vote will decide and yes Lahore metro was done fast for Elections, no denying it but there is an economic reasoning. If you are correct and Metro is not helping people they will VOTE nooras out. So be patient. You are Wrong and you will be proven Wrong.

Utter nonsense, and lies. The government is paying full price subsidy of empty seats and out of services buses. The Pindi Metro is already half utilised as it is. The poorly constructed few months old Metro bridge already has a crack in it and killed two people. The government is simply not making any revenue on Metro, it is paying back from its own pocket. Inflation is high and indirect taxes are all over the place, prices of petrol are still high despite record decrease in global market, unemployment is sky high, so really the average passenger is saving nothing. Besides, Metro is just one freaking lane. Hardly a proper bus network which is what every city of Pakistan needs. I don’t understand why people are going so gaga about it.

Economic growth is measured by employment rate industrialization - not debt ridden economy running $16 billion foreign remittance. Despite so called mega development, Punjab unemployment rate is record high.

Yes Nooras were so concerned about finishing the Metro for elections, hence the project got completed in 2 years. Never mind the fact billions more were poured into which could have poured into development. Have some shame even Bangladesh has moved up the Human Development and Poverty Index league, and they don’t have Metros, yet better foreign investment.
