Karachi’s public transportation worst in the world: report

KARACHI:  (HRNW) International magazine Bloomberg on Tuesday declared Karachi’s public transportation worst in the world.

According to the report, the city of lights which was once well connected by a circular railway but corruption and mismanagement in the transportation sector brought the city to a grinding halt in the late 1990s,. Many of the railway tracks have become illegal slums with people moving from smaller towns to earn more.

“Karachi has yet to find a humane way to address land encroachment that stymies development and relocate people without incurring immense political blowback,” said Adam Weinstein, a research fellow at the Washington D.C.-based Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

The report said that Karachi ranks as having the worst public transport system globally.
