The Karachi Metrobus ({{lang-sd|ڪراچي ميٽروبس}}, {{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|کراچی میٹرو بس}}}}) is a {{convert|112.9|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} bus rapid transit network under-construction in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[1][2][3] The expected daily ridership is estimated at 350,000 with a total of 109 km of dedicated bus routes[2] Upon completion, it will become the largest metro bus network in Pakistan. The Karachi Metrobus project was inaugurated on 25 February 2016 and was slated to begin operation by February 2017.

Nawaz Sharif, during a high-level meeting in Karachi on July 10, 2014, announced to provide infrastructure component to launch the BRT Green Line project on modern lines to alleviate the severe traffic congestion in the city.[4]

The slow pace of work on BRT Green Line has irked citizens as the digging work on main arteries has resulted in congestion of traffic.[4] Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif declared Sindh government responsible for the delay in Green Line Bus Rapid Transit System in Karachi.[5]

Lines

The system will be divided into 5 dedicated lines or "busways".

Green Line

{{Main|Green Line - Karachi Metrobus}}

The Green Line will extend from Merewether Tower to Surjani Town at a total length of {{convert|26|km|abbr=on}}. The Government of Pakistan will be financing the majority of the project.[6] Construction of the Green Line began on February 26, 2016. The line will have 22 bus stations when completed.[7] Engineering Associates have been contracted as the designers and supervision consultants for Green Line while a Consortium of "Ernest & Young", "Exponent Engineers" & "Haider Mota & BNR" have been contracted for "Transaction Advisory for Bus Operational Plan".[8][9][10] The government is in process of acquiring 80 units of 18-metre-long buses.[11] In addition, a Command and Control Centre is being established at the Garden West.

On October 2016, the CDWP revised the cost of Karachi metro bus project upwards by 52% to Rs 24.6 billion in addition to approving changes in its design. On December 2014, the Ecnec had approved the mass transit project at a cost of Rs16.1 billion after it cut the length of the route by 3.2 km. However, the provincial government expressed concerns and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced to extend the scope and length of the project.

Orange Line

{{Main|Orange Line - Karachi Metrobus}}

The Orange Line construction started on June 11, 2016 and is the smallest of the five line's spreading over 3.9 km with only four stations.[11] Orange line will be spread over 2.3 km, of which 0.7 km will be elevated while 1.5 km will be on ground, whereas, the 1.5 km will be semi dedicated section. This project would be constructed in two phases and is likely to completed by 2017. The line will have the capacity to carry up to 50,000 passengers daily with a station after every kilometer. The line begins from Shaharh-e-Quaideen near TMO Office Orangi to Board Office, where it will join the Green Line BRT, through a rotary flyover. The project, worth Rs. 2 billion, is entirely funded by the Sindh government.

In March 2017, the foundation stone of the second phase as well as of the depot was laid which would complete by July 2017. The depot would have the capacity for the parking of 35 buses.
