اسلام آبد میں 38 الیکٹرک بسوں کا منصوبہ اب EOI کی سطح پر آچکا ہے، اگلا اہم منصوبہ انشاللہ اسلام آباد ائرپورٹ سے مری تک الیکٹرک آٹومیٹک ٹرین کا ہے جس کی اسٹڈی شروع ہو گئ ہے اور پلاننگ منسٹری سے اس ضمن میں میٹنگ بھی ہو چکی ہے، انشاللہ اس پراجیکٹ سے سیاحت اور سفر کامنظر بدل جائیگا https://t.co/61iZjK69TV

The minister’s tweet reminded people that the government is fast-tracking to normalize the electric public transport in the country.
Reports state that two MoUs have already been signed with two major electric bus manufacturers to initiate the project. These manufacturers have geared up to bring major investment and production plants to the country.

The electric public transport project will bring prosperity to the country, create work opportunities, and play a massive role in saving the environment. The train project will change the face of tourism and travel in Pakistan.

Murre ko developed kara phelaa , other wise this big chawal
Why the hell were you against the orange train then? That too when it was for a city like Lahore. For whichever project you have criticized MLN for, the same things have you followed later but in a much worst manner. No electric train is needed unless all of them are laid out in Karachi first. Karachi is the only city where you can justify such spendings in the present scenario.
This is nothing new……this was planned long time ago and even work was started on this……….even before Fawad Ch. was born…..and even before Shareef’s were not in politics…….only thing is now with too much population and transportation between Rwp. and Isb. this has to be completed …there is no way out.
Yeh baat, progressing Pakistan, dil khush ho jata hai aisi khabarain part kar
First is the Dream then becomes a Reality!!!! What do you think???
It’s a good idea to launch fast electric train from Islamabad International Airport to Murree and Islamabad International Airport to Rawat in order to over. come the travelling problems of common man as well as to protect the environment.
