The Lahore Orange Line Train is a shining example of modern public transportation in Pakistan. This automated rapid transit system, inaugurated in 2020, has transformed the cityscape of Lahore and revolutionized how residents travel within the city.
The Orange Line covers 27.1 kilometers, mostly elevated with some underground sections, linking Ali Town Terminal to Dera Gujran Terminal in Lahore. With 26 strategically located stations, commuting across the city is made easy. It's Pakistan's first fully automated metro system, featuring driverless technology and five-carriage trains for modern travel. Benefits include reduced traffic, shorter travel times, and economic growth around stations. Despite initial challenges, the project has greatly improved Lahore's infrastructure, reducing pollution and enhancing connectivity and vibrancy.
