The Yellow Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, meant for providing travel facilities to the citizens of Karachi, has been delayed due to Covid-19 and politically-influenced recruitment. The Yellow Line is part of the Karachi package announced by Prime Minister Imran Khan. The Yellow Line covers a distance of 21 kilometres from Dawood Chowrangi to Numaish Chowrangi. Under the conceptual plan, eight underpasses will be constructed at Murtaza Chowrangi, Singer Chowrangi, Bilal Chowrangi, Vita Chowrangi, Shaan Chowrangi, Brooks Chowrangi, Khayaban-e-Ittehad, Korangi Road intersection, and at the Sunset Boulevard intersection. Meanwhile, the buses for the Yellow Line project will be procured on a public-private partnership basis.
