South Air, a new commercial airline of Pakistan, plans to have interesting routes!
Launched first route for sale: Karachi - Bahawalpur - Islamabad, around 4 hours 30 mins journey with ticket of Rs14000 to Islamabad from Karachi. However, Stop in-between, Bahawalpur costs Rs18500
Islamabad is perhaps one of the only planned cities in the world where public transport is not feasible due to absence of mixed use and grid based planning. Only one mass transit system and lots of cars due to planning failure and induced demand.
Also a useful reminder
Every QR parking ticket does more than manage parking.
CDA is perhaps only development authority in Pakistan that provides an annual Rs 3.3 billion subsidy to support Islamabad’s public transport network. Those small parking charges help support a system that gets thousands of families to work, school, and home every day.
Let’s build a city that works for all!

@ZehraFarooq Maybe one day when citizens are treated like citizens and not subjects. We will realise the pain being inflicted on citizenry and businesses. Maybe there is not enough juice in economy. Maybe we have even crossed the line. Revised collection figures are nothing but a mirage. n/n
@ZehraFarooq overall economic health is not promising. Our issue is that we manipulate data and figures are fudged to avoid reforms(as reforms require effort ninconvenience). After every IMF program we beg for another IMF bailout as , we negotiate IMF programs on fake economic resultcard.1/n
@ZehraFarooq Every year taxes are added on salaried class, PDL is punitively levied and recovered to keep revenues out of divisible pool. Maybe some truth in economic survey can save us from implosion. Just adding a classic example of figure fudging for understanding.
@nadeemkhurshid Sir read it n every word is a reality check. Top 25 US metropolitan cities contribute over 50 percent of US GDP. Its because they developed 25 model local governance systems in those cities. Here we want to recruit fresh batch of tormentors every year via an English language test
