Karachi’s Green Line BRT project with intersections is 24 km long which comprises 12.7 km elevated, 10.9 km at grade, and 422 meters underground, and has 25 stations.

The phase-II common strip from Gurumandir up to Municipal Park with a length of 2.5 km has two underpasses at MA Jinnah Road.

The state-of-art subversive bus terminal with a parking facility and the commercial mezzanine floor was being also being constructed at Numaish. The construction work on Phase-I was started in 2016.

A day earlier, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal, along with the party workers and leaders, ‘symbolically inaugurated’ the Greenline Rapid Bus transit project.

Speaking to the media, the PML-N stalwart said that those used to call Metro Bus ‘Jangla Bus Service‘ were now coming to Karachi to inaugurate it to secure credit. He claimed it was the PML-N government that gave Green Line Bus Service to Karachi.

“[Prime Minister] Imran Khan now knows how country progresses with motorways,” Iqbal had said.
