Lahore: Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Pervaiz Elahi on Friday (December 16) approved the construction of an underground mass transit system for Lahore, which will be executed with the help and funds from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The project will involve the development of eight big stations for the Orange Line train, stretching from Valencia Town to Karma Chowk, Liberty Chowk, and Data Darbar up to the airport. The cabinet has also granted approval for the Planning and Development (P&D) Board and the transport department to hold negotiations with the ADB for technical assistance and financing.
The project is expected to have a significant impact on the public transportation system in Lahore, providing a safe and efficient mode of transport for those who commute through the city. It is anticipated that the proposed underground mass transit system will help to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in the city, while also providing faster and more convenient travel for residents and tourists alike.
