Green Line Bus Project to become operational by December 25

Islamabad: Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Asad Umar on Sunday announced that the Karachi Green Line Bus Project would become formally operationalized by December 25, 2021.

Asad Umar said on his Twitter handle, “Yesterday, I reviewed the project in detail and it will be put on trial after 10 days”. 

کل کراچی گرین لائن منصوبے کا تفصیلی جائزہ لیا. انشاءاللہ اگلے دس دن میں یہ منصوبہ ٹرائل آپریشن کے لئے طیار ہو گا. اس کے بعد وزیراعظم @ImranKhanPTI کراچی آ کر منصوبے کا افتتاح کریں گے. تقریباً دو ہفتے ٹرائل آپریشن کے بعد انشاءاللہ 25 دسمبر کو کمرشل آپریشن کا آغاز کر دیا جائے گا

After two weeks’ trial operation, he said the project would be ready for commercial operation on December 25. The minister informed that Prime Minister Imran Khan would inaugurate the project.

The project had been started back in 2016 by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who had aimed to complete the project within one year. However, due to various reasons, the project remained incomplete.
