Intro
Transportation in Pakistan is extensive and varied but still in its developing stages and serving a population of over 170 million people.. Much of Pakistan's road network (National Highways) and railway network were built before 1947, mainly during the British Raj. In recent years, new national highways have been built, with the addition of motorways which has accelerated trade and logistics within the country. As one of the most rapidly growing cities in the world, Karachi faces challenges that are central to many developing metropolises, including traffic congestion, pollution, poverty and street crime. It has the 9th most dense traffic in the world.
The Karachi mayhem
Karachi is Pakistan’s biggest city and it is growing tremendously, so are its problems, Karachiites are suffering from variety of problems. Terrorism, water scarcity, high prices, pollution, unemployment.
Citizens’ Concern there is no dearth of problems when it comes to Karachi so I was not impressed when I read a claim by Samandari Baba(The self proclaimed saint, who lives somewhere in Defence also claimed that he went to sea and lived there for 40 days inside water and returned to the city only to warn), that Pakistan’s biggest problem is Kashmir and Karachi’s biggest problems are traffic and delayed marriages of girls. He requested the Government to solve the problem of traffic in Karachi on priority basis, and first lady to do something about the delay in marriages of young girls.
Much of city’s movements is via pavement though there are other alternatives. Karachi Circular Railway $1.6 billion project will completed by 2013 ,liyari ferry movement.
The city government has introduced an initiative to alleviate the transport pains by introducing new CNG buses.
These problems continue to earn Karachi low rankings in livability comparisons
The Economist ranked Karachi fourth least livable city amongst
