Karachi: The Federal government has launched the second phase of development on the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project — with the initiative expected to cost PKR 2.5 billion, a news source reported on July 24.
According to the details available, the area on which the Green Line track is to be laid in the second phase is densely populated, and will need greater resources to manage. It is also expected to cause traffic issues for the local residents.
The work on the first phase of the track between Surjani and Guru Mandir is nearing completion. The new track will be a common corridor for several metrobus projects in the city, and will be laid from the Capri Cinema on M.A. Jinnah Road to Sabri Nihari.
The dual-way track will be 3-kilometres-long, and an alternate road will be constructed as part of the project as well. The construction work on the second phase is expected to be initiated by next month.
