Tram Service to Be Expanded to Lahore


Punjab's vibrant capital and "city of gardens," Lahore, is constantly improving its transportation infrastructure. The city is preparing for another ground-breaking initiative, of which Lahore will be the first in the province to experience it after pioneering the Orange Line Train and Metro Bus Service.

This time, Lahore will get the nation's first tram service approval from the provincial administration. And the goal of the change is to improve the city's urban attractiveness while also streamlining transportation. During a meeting held at the offices of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA), Punjab's Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz authorized the move.

Route & Stops


With handy stations spaced every 1 to 1.5 kilometers, the 11-kilometer tram line will wind through important areas including Liberty, Main Market, Mini Market, and Hali Road. This will make navigating the busy city center easy and efficient for both locals and tourists.
The initiative aims to create contemporary tram designs that may be influenced by China and Finland. Traveling by tram will be enjoyable because to these vehicles' luxurious and pleasant rides.

Improving the Urban Aesthetics of Lahore
The tram service aims to improve Lahore's aesthetic appeal in addition to its practicality. Remodeling and beautification projects will be implemented along MM Alam Road. A cityscape that is visually appealing and coherent will be produced by using tuff tiles and uniform roadways.
The project includes proposals for building, remodeling, and restoration in Gulberg and the surrounding regions. This all-encompassing strategy guarantees a smooth integration of the tram service with the city's current infrastructure.

Although the official opening date is yet unknown, the government stresses that the project must be completed quickly. This guarantees that locals may take advantage of the tram service as soon as feasible. Once the project is completed, ticket costs will be announced.
Residents of Lahore have many more infrastructural upgrades to look forward to than only the tram service. In addition, the Chief Minister approved the construction of a signal-free corridor between the Motorway and Kareem Block. The goal of both this project and the tram service is to greatly enhance municipal traffic control.
