Karachi’s Public Transport

Karachi’s Public Transport

Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan has a major transport crisis. This book describes the pre-Independence situation and subsequent initiatives while analysing the political, social, technical, and financial reasons for their failures and successes as well as the role of international financial institutions, and the judiciary. It also looks at the innovative responses of the informal private sector to the crisis, the pros and cons of present-day government planning, and the interests of various stakeholders in the transport drama that exists today.
