The Lahore Orange Line Train marks a significant milestone for Pakistan, ushering in a new era of modern and automated public transportation. Inaugurated in 2020, this rapid transit system has revolutionized how residents of Lahore travel within the city. Before its launch, traffic in Pakistan had become a major concern for the public.
The rapid growth in the number of cars on the road was a major cause for concern, despite the construction of numerous flyovers and underpasses and the widening of existing highways. However, the situation remained largely unchanged due to the ever-increasing number of cars and other vehicles. Recognizing the urgent need for a more efficient and sustainable transportation solution, the Punjab Mass Transit Authority took decisive steps to address this issue. This led to the introduction of the Lahore Metrobus and, most notably, the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train System.
The Orange Line Metro Train was officially launched on October 25, 2020, marking a significant milestone in the growing partnership between the governments of Pakistan and China. This initiative aimed to strengthen bilateral ties between the two nations. Since its launch, the service has been operating smoothly and efficiently, providing a much-needed respite for commuters.
