CDGK CNG bus project: My experiance

Finally.......... I had a chance to take a ride in the CDGK (City District Government Karachi) launched project of Green buses. Currently only 2 roots are available for the buses and it is said these two roots are on experimental basis, and if things went according to the plan the CDGK planes to lauch more routs and I must say the routs are choosed quite wisely . It is been said that the CDGK has already started planning for buying 1000 more busses (unconfirmed).

My experiance of traveling in the bus was wanderfull (even I was never able to catch a seat). Staff was friendly, did not have to wait long for my bus even I missed one while purchasing my ticket, reached there in time I mean no un-wanted delays by the driver and above all driver was well following the trafic rules and its a good thing. Despite this I do noticede few draw backs that might cause some problems later own for the CDGK to run this service efficiently, one of the major problem that may arise soon is the excessive no. of staff members and extra expenses occoruing on maintaining the ticket booths as the government property is the 1st to be damaged in case of any un-pleasent incident. 1 more thing I noticed that there is no concession of students and senior citizns I mean its government funded project and if CDGK will not take this into consideration then what we can expect from private bus owners.

Despite all this its a wonderfull step by the CDGK and I must appreciate the CityNazim on this and it should not be politicize, but I must add there is still plenty of work that need to be done in this area.
