KARACHI: Project director of the Karachi Circular Railway Ameer Mohammad Daudpota has said that the KCR revival is a certain project and the phase-1 of the project will be completely revived very soon.

Talking to journalists at his office, he said that the KCR revival project had been envisaged as a modern urban commuter service that would ultimately carry 700,000 passengers per day.

“Karachi city suffers from massive transportation issues, however, this service would alleviate the problems of Karachiites to a larger extent,” he added.

Responding to a question regarding level crossings and track at Green Line bus area, he said that the Sindh government had been given the task of complete elimination of level crossings along with their replacement with flyovers and overhead bridges.
