The Lahore Orange Line Train completed the two years of its operation on Tuesday. Up to 50 million passengers have travelled on the train since the launch of the project on Oct 25, 2020.
A representative of the Orange Line Metro Train said the train has cumulatively travelled 25 million kilometres, completing 200,000 trips with 99.99 per cent punctuality. The company achieved 97 per cent of staff localization and 50 million ridership
A senior official of the PMA said up to 20 million passengers used the facility from Oct 25, 2020 and Oct 25, 2021. But during Oct 25, 2021 to Oct 25, 2022, the number of passengers increased to 30 million, which shows passengers are switching to the metro train system due to increasing oil prices.
Films about the project were screened at the ceremony, and awards were given to outstanding staffers. The hi-tech trains operate daily from 6am to 10pm every five minutes from Ali Town to Dera Gujran through 26 stations.
