After Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi and Peshawar Metro Bus projects, Lahore Orange Line Train is a mega project that provides an in-city train service. Pakistan Mass Transit Authority (PMA) has introduced this modern, convenient, and affordable means of transport to the citizens. Lahore Orange Train Route covers a 27.1km distance in Lahore covering the area from Ali Town to Dera Gujran.
Orange Train is the first fast and driverless train service in Pakistan. It works on the technology and system of subways in other countries. The project was initiated in 2014 by the Government of Pakistan in collaboration with the Government of China. Along with a great service to the citizens, it is also a symbol of Pak-China friendship. The project took almost 6 years with an investment of $1.7 billion. Guangzhou Metro GRoup, Norinco International, and Daewoo Express have controlled the manufacturing of these operations.
