Karachi: Following the completion of all financial and technical preparations for the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, the Sindh government has announced its decision to commence with the initiative’s construction work from August 2020 onwards, a news source reported.
The provincial government will float tenders for this purpose in January 2020, and aims to get the construction work completed within a timeframe of two years. Once constructed, the Red Line BRT will connect Model Colony to the Tower area via Numaish Chowrangi and the Green Line.
From Numaish Chowrangi, the Red Line busses will commute through the Green Line Corridor up to Jama Cloth Market. From here, the buses will use another specially built corridor to reach the Tower area.
Numaish Chowrangi will act as the hub of the entire BRT system. It will also allow the Red Line commuters to switch to other lines in order to reach other areas of Karachi.
