Karachi: Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah has ordered the construction of a flyover at Jam Sadique bridge and a biogas plant in Bhans Colony to facilitate the Yellow and Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), news sources reported on November 11.
In a press conference, Minister of Transport Sharjeel Memon stated that the project’s main goal was to increase mobility, accessibility, and safety along the Yellow BRT line alignment. The Sindh government will purchase 32 acres of land in Bhans colony to build a biogas plant, as both the Yellow and Red Line bus projects would run on locally generated gas. He stated that the World Bank (WB) and the Bank of France will fund the project, which will cost PKR 61 billion to complete.
The project’s 21-kilometre length will have 28 stops, including six underpass stations, nine underpasses, two U-turns, and two bridges. The BRT Yellow Line would stretch from Dawood Chowrangi to Numaish and would have 268 diesel hybrid buses as well as two depots, one in Dawood Chowrangi and the other in Christian Colony.
