The tram service will run on electricity and batteries!

However, the soon to be launched tram service will run on electricity and batteries to prevent excessive use of liquid gas. According to media reports, in the first phase, the companies will launch 50 trams.

The electric commute will have the capacity to carry 35,000 passengers in a single hour. Moreover, the 50 trams will operate on a 35 kilometres track at Canal Road in Lahore.

Considered to be a useful addition in the public transport sector, the to be introduced trams will have a life span of about 40 years. Further, the Provincial Transport Minister Jahanzeb Khan Khichi stated, “the tram service project is a gift for Lahore from the Punjab government.” Since the news became public, China, Germany and Czechoslovakia seem interested in investing in the tram project, he further added.

The rotten public transportation sector of Pakistan!

Indeed, this will add great value to the vintage public transport of the city. Unfortunately, until now, the Punjab government was busy with the failed metro bus projects operating in the province.

After the launch of tram service, Pakistanis will surely reminisce the time when the beautiful commute was actually a part of the country. In this era, there still are many world countries which have kept their heritage greatly maintained.

Pakistan has always lacked preserving its national heritage as compared to other countries. The rotten public transportation of the country definitely needed an upgrade. Apparently, the trams will put in some elegance and reliability in the concerned sector of the country.
