KARACHI: The wait is over for citizens of the port city as the Sindh Infrastructure Company announces full commercial operation of Green Line bus service from today (Monday).
According to details, 80 buses will cover a track of 21 kilometers from 7 in the morning till 10 at night. 22 bus stations have also been completed.
The citizens took a sigh of relief because of the long wait they had to suffer.
It is also to be noted here that the claims of completion of project are being made but in reality many areas including Golimar and UP More, the stations still await escalators and many other areas are in need of finishing. Keeping this in view the citizens have demanded that the fare should be reduced.
The official sources told that the delay in the application of escalator is due to delays in import services and the work will be completed as soon as the machinery is received.
It merits mention that 20 buses were being test driven for four hours a day from 25thDecember.
