It is solely government’s responsibility to facilitate citizens with
considerable means of transportation. In Pakistan, the conditions of
public transportation are vulnerable. That is why, People always prefer
to travel through their own transport if they can afford.
The most commonly used modes of transportation in Pakistan are buses,
cars, bikes and railway trains. As Pakistan is well populated country,
the public transport is usually overloaded. Few years back, private
buses “Daewoo” were introduced which relatively brought comfort to
people.
There is a great need to execute such more plans. Recently, in
Lahore, “Metro” bus service was established, which is helpful in
facilitating a number of people. The usage of car is increasing as the
public transportation is not well organised, which is contaminating the
environment and exacerbating the road conditions. Underground tracks
should be introduced to lower the burden of traffic.
To travel nationwide, most of the citizens prefer railway trains, but
from the last few years, there is a drastic drop in the performance of
railway trains. In the developed countries, people prefer to travel
through trains even they can afford to commute through their own
transport, because it is quite comfortable and convenient way of
travelling. Road planning should be revised and more highway plans
should be implemented. But with all the facilities of transportation,
there should be a bicycle or walk day weekly to motivate people to stay
active and use good means of transportation.
