Karachi (Lord Media): Karachi’s Yellow Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project will see the purchase of 256 electric buses. Upon completion, the project aims to facilitate daily travel for up to 300,000 passengers.<\/p>\n
According to project documents, the Yellow Line BRT is designed as an integrated third-generation transit system with the Karachi Breeze Network. It is being developed with financial assistance from the World Bank to modernize public transport in Karachi.<\/p>\n
The project will establish a 21-kilometer-long BRT corridor from Dawood Chowrangi to Numaish, which will connect to a shared corridor leading to Tower. The route will feature a total of 28 stations, including 22 at ground level and 6 underground.<\/p>\n
Estimates suggest that the system will provide daily travel facilities for 260,000 to 300,000 passengers, with annual ridership expected to reach approximately 78 million.<\/p>\n
Buses on the corridor will operate at an average speed of 21 to 26 kilometers per hour. A fleet of 256 electric buses, including various lengths, has been proposed for the project.<\/p>\n
Construction work on the Yellow Line project is ongoing, with authorities aiming to commence BRT operations by January 2028. Delivery of the electric buses is expected to begin in February 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
