Re: Metro Bus Service: Punjab pays Rs5m per day as subsidy
Dual standards where a generally needed project gets legitimate criticism for being ridiculously costly with no audit in place, and similar project escapes the wrath because it is half of the price of the said project? Seems like good standards to me.
A person whose only claim and interest in this debate is to take a pop at PTI supporters should not be talking about biased agenda.
Re: Metro Bus Service: Punjab pays Rs5m per day as subsidy
Way before its time to claim proper feasibility and reduced cost of a project. We will see once its completed. Till then carry on with your mantra ‘East or West, PIT is the best’.
Re: Metro Bus Service: Punjab pays Rs5m per day as subsidy
In KPK,infrastructure projects are secondary. The past year has seen a focus on strengthening of institutions…stuff like depoliticization of police, independence of NAB, disappearance of corruption and patwari culture. But since stuff like this doesnt glare like a [ooo shiney]red metrobus[/ooo shiney], you wont hear of it.
Re: Metro Bus Service: Punjab pays Rs5m per day as subsidy
As mentioned in my previous, strengthening of institutions is not something you can see a CM driving for show and tell, hence things like reduced corruption, better policing and accountability wont be visible to naysayers.
And where did I say that Lahore metro was not needed? I said that Lahore metro was solely done for votes, which is why it was sped through will weak and unwise planning…which is why it was expensive, which is why it has high subsidies, and which is why it is criticized.
