Canal Road has been removed from the plan, and the new proposed route will see the tram run through CBD, Gulberg, Jail Road, and Istanbul Chowk. Punjab&#8217;s Transport Minister stated that the route change was due to tree cutting on Canal Road and other technical and environmental complexities.<\/p>\n<p>The Transport Minister further mentioned that the electric tram first arrived in Lahore in July 2025, followed by a test run and exhibition at Expo Center in August 2025. Initially, the plan was to operate the &#8216;Yellow Line&#8217; on a 27-kilometer track from Thokar Niaz Beg to Harbanspura.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there were considerations to run the tram through Kalma Chowk, Liberty, Main Market, Mini Market, and Hali Road, but no final decision has been made regarding these routes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lahore&#8217;s electric tram project delayed, route changed.
