All Metropolises of the world have Mass Transit Systems
EXCEPT KARACHI
Status of Existing Public Transport
[Vehicle Count VS Occupancy Comparison]
•
4.5% composition of Public Transport Vehicles
carry 42% of Total Persons Traveling in the City.
•
Private Cars which is 36.5% of Total Vehicular
Traffic carries only 21% of Persons. Showing
Lesser Average Vehicle Occupancy.
•
The above leads to the conclusion that there is
still deficiency of Public Transport availability on
all Major Routes in the city.
