The Punjab government is preparing to launch 27 metro buses and two trams on the new Orange Line route, a 20 kilometre corridor that will run from Faisal Town on Jaranwala Road to Tahirpur on Jhang Road.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is expected to perform the groundbreaking ceremony in the coming days.
Member Punjab Mass Transit Authority and former chief secretary Capt (retd) Zahid Saeed chaired a meeting alongside Faisalabad Commissioner Raja Jahangir Anwar. Officials briefed the meeting that the PC 1 of the project has been approved. They said the Orange Line corridor will include 22 stations, two depots and six U turns.
The Member Mass Transit Authority and the commissioner directed WASA, FESCO, Sui Gas, PHA, the Municipal Corporation and the Traffic Police to immediately begin shifting utility services according to the project’s alignment. They instructed departments to hold another meeting next week to set timelines for the relocation work.
Officials said the Orange Line metro service will become a major public transport facility for Faisalabad, adding that thousands of passengers are expected to use the route daily. They also stressed the need to inform residents living along the corridor in advance about temporary service disruptions during the shifting of utilities.
