Fifty CNG buses on two routes launched
KARACHI: Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan inaugurated on Monday a CNG bus project, saying that it was a gift for the citizens of Karachi and would ease their transport and pollution problems.In the first phase, the city government will run 50 CNG-powered buses on two different routes – originating from Surjani Town to Tower and to Korangi and back.
‘CNG buses were brought on the roads of Karachi in the past, too, but the latest fleet comprises the dedicated CNG buses and will certainly lead the project to success,’ Dr Ibad said while speaking at the inauguration.
He said the CDGK during the last four years had served all sections of the population, and City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal and his team deserved praise for it. ‘Karachi is the most important part of the country and the city nazim has ensured with his utmost dedication that the city keep the wheels moving,’ he added.
After unveiling a plaque at a CNG bus terminal in Surjani Town, the governor inspected the facility and buses and also travelled with the city nazim for three kilometres by getting e-tickets.
In his speech, Syed Mustafa Kamal blamed the bureaucracy for the absence of a mass-transit system in Karachi.
He appealed to President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to take to task the bureaucracy for its failure to introduce the system, and help stop bureaucrats from creating impediments in the city’s development projects.
The nazim said the CNG bus project was funded by the city government. ‘We have spent Rs250 million on the purchase of these CNG buses while we have also allocated funds for the purchase of another fleet of 100 buses in the next budget,’ he said.
