Please sheikhupura Lahore transport Speedo chala dn.
Let’s hope this illiterate Kabadder doesn’t import these buses as they’re being assembled in KARACHI. The Lahore station doesn’t like that word. They spent hundreds of billions in Lahore, diverting important resources from their South Asia desk (not AfPak), MENA desk, Europe and even went as far as East Asia. Lahore’s history of welcoming invaders or liberators, as we would call our forefathers, stayed consistent. Only problem being that these folks didn’t invest in the actual city or its vicinity and didn’t build structures like the Badshahi Masjid or anything else for that matter. They built mind control AI tools to drain their own economy. Lahore has proven to be worse than Afghanistan and Vietnam from this standpoint. Quite a sea change from their history. Not that we would have appreciated any resistance against our ancestors, who came to liberate them out of their darkness and in some cases, literally. Now, they tell you to not talk about it so that people in Pakistan waste our hard earned money on these useless technologies and we go bankrupt too, as we already are. Kind of like them. Forewarning fellow Pakistanis about the dangers of wasteful spending on useless technological advancements has been a constant variable. Whether it was crypto currencies or fully electric vehicles (not buses), staying away from all of these tools proved useful. HEVs is the answer. Hydrogen fuel is only a fantasy of one obscure so-called western nation that has been promoting it. It started from Germany to BP and now, has expanded its sneaky campaigning to other eastern nations. Such shenanigans may help them replace the petrodollar as was their plan since they lit their forests on fire to raise oil prices and gain insurance funds, but we will remain sceptical. Actually, cynical about hydrogen fuels. We already face an acute water shortage and we make fun of people like Agha Waqar even if he was onto something. So, the rickshaw buyback program from Sazgar in Punjab for their HEV. And buses for Punjab from Karachi. All this inland trading but no ships and river ports active across the Indus River? No wonder we’re so poor and backward.
