The Punjab government has approved launching a tram service in Lahore, reported. The project was approved by Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif during her recent visit to the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) headquarters. The project will spread around 11 kilometers and include 10 stops, approximately 1 to 1.
5 kilometers apart. The LDA has been asked to draw inspiration from modern tram models in Finland and China, with an estimated cost of Rs27 billion for the project. The tram route will include prominent localities such as Main Boulevard from Kalma Chowk, Liberty, Main Market, Mini Market, and Hali Road.
With Maryam Nawaz’s approval, MM Alam Road is expected to be converted into a one-way street to accommodate the tram route, as part of the re-modeling. The tram service will also have a special stop within Gaddafi Stadium, making it a convenient option for sports enthusiasts and even-goers. However, ticket prices for the tram service will be determined after the launch.
