Karachi: The design of the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit System project’s Main Junction on MA Jinnah Road has been changed, according to a news source. Due to these changes, which have been confirmed by the official sources, further delays are expected in the completion of the project.
According to the previous plan, the bus route was close to the Quaid’s Mausoleum, on which objections were raised by the Mazar-e-Quaid Management Board. A famous architect also raised these objections, after which the Government of Sindh agreed to redesign the project. Now, the bus route passing close to the mausoleum will be made underground.
The project was to be completed in 2017 and it is a possibility that it might not be inaugurated in 2018 either.
