Purpose for Pre-Feasibility Study of Blue Line
2.1
Issues on Developing of Blue Line
According to the implementation plan of Blue Line in KUTMP 2030, following issues are
pointed out against the implementation timing of LRT Blue Line.
1) The growth in population and the expansion in urbanized areas would certainly bring about a
rapid increase in traffic demand in Karachi City.
2) There are only four years between construction commencement of LRT Blue Line and
completion of Green and Red BRT line.
3) As a result of above 1) and 2), alternative public transportation system to LRT along Blue
Line would be required before construction of LRT.
Thus, the JICA Study Team proposes an alternative plan along BRT divided into following two
phases taking into account above mentioned matters.
- Phase-1; Adopting Semi-BRT system before construction of LRT Blue Line after completion
of BRT Green Line and Red Line.
- Phase-2; Adopting LRT system after the commencement of LRT construction
2.2
Purpose for Pre-Feasibility Study of Blue Line
In case the alternative Blue Line plan is adopted, following issues are pointed out from the
perspective of introducing space for both transportation system, tentative BRT system and LRT
system.
1) BRT system would be required during only four years before construction of LRT system
according to the implementation schedule. In addition to construction of BRT facility, removal
of tentative BRT facility would also become an important issue so that tentative BRT facility
should become removal easily.
Appendix 1 - 2
Karachi Transportation Improvement Project
Final Report
2) A large space is required for the accommodation of LRT facility along the route permanently
due to elevated structure or underground structure including station structure.
3) On the other hand, new flyovers would be designed and constructed in the near future as
necessary countermeasure against rapid increasing traffic volume in Karachi.
JICA Study Team has carried out the study about necessary space for both transportation
systems in different phases so that both systems would be easily introduced without any
hindrance in the near future.
Purpose of this study consists of;
-
Proposing introducing space, station locations and structures, and countermeasure against
obstacles if any, for tentative BRT system of Blue Line as short-time.
Proposing introducing space as elevated or underground, station locations and structures,
transition section plan, terminal tower station, and countermeasure against obstacles if any, for
LRT system of Blue Line
3.
Study of Introducing Space for Blue Line
3.1
Introducing Space for BRT System during Short-term
3.1.1
BRT System of Blue Line as Short-Term
There are two major types of cross section design for BRT. One is to set the station at the
center of the road, and another is at curb-side, which would determine the side of the door of
BRT bus.
BRT buses of Green Line and Red Line run just through the dedicated lanes except for
intersections. And station place is designed at a center of the road for the right door buses, as
described in this report Vol. 2.
On the other hand, JICA Study Team proposes that tentative BRT system of Blue Line during
short-term run in mixed traffic lanes and station place is set on curb-side for left-door buses.
The major reasons for this selection are as follows;
-
-
-
In case of the center station for the right door buses, pedestrian bridges would be necessary for
access between both sidewalk and BRT station. However, pedestrian bridges would become
obstructive to the space for LRT structure in the future.
In additional construction of high height platform would be required at each center station and
removal of platform become also necessary before construction of LRT facility.
Jahangir Road and one-way sections in M.A.Jinnah Road are too narrow to construct the center
station of BRT. But construction of the curb-side stations would be possible.
At the crossing section with KCR, Tentative BRT Blue Line should be designed as elevated
structure because KCR is designed at grade. Then tentative BRT lane should be set up in the
space of the Liaquatabad Flyover. Although there is no space of the center station, there still
would be enough space of curb-side station by constructing elevated platforms at both side of
the flyover.
In case of constructing mixed traffic lane and curb-side stations for tentative BRT, it is possible
to make not only initial investment much smaller, but also use of existing buses effective.

There is no space for elevated or underground station at Teen Hati due to narrow Jahangir Road.
Transition section from elevated to underground would be located at the section between

underground structure would be adopted under Lyari River as shown in Figure A1-3-27.
