Karachi: Advisor to Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Law Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that the Chinese buses on Karachi routes had made a visible change.

“When we promised and announced that 240 buses will come to Karachi city from China, many people took it lightly. But today, Thank God, everyone has seen that not only was the announcement made, but today this promise is about to be fulfilled and 240 new buses were approved in the budget for the city of Karachi. Now 140 buses have already arrived in Karachi,” he added.

In a media interaction, Wahab maintained that the Chinese buses had started plying on the Sharah-e-Faisal from Malir to Tower.

“The Sindh government kept its promise and 140 buses have become operational on the Malir to Tower route,” he remarked. The advisor mentioned there was criticism regarding transport in Karachi. “There were problems in transport projects but thankfully this problem has also started to be resolved. We have improved open spaces, but one issue one which we were not able to overcome is mass transit,” he contended.

The Administrator said that the Sindh government had added Karachi Circular Railways (KCR) to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) but the new federal government had delayed the decision.

“The good thing is that this present (federal) government started working to understand the problems,” he stated.

Wahab pledged that work will be started immediately on six more routes in Karachi city and also the buses of Orange Line which supplement the Green Line have also arrived.
