Buses on grade will solve Lahore’s transport problems,. They can be
supported by the revival of existing North South rails for commuter traffic.
Underground trains using Tunnel Boring Machine can be an on going Long
Term investment for the future
The current plan destroys Lahore. It destroys livelihoods , homes and
communities, it destroys heritage, it destroys the environment and the
economy
The current Orange Line Metro Train Project destroys the possibility of the
integrated Lahore Mass Transport System as conceived in 2005-10
LAHORE METROLahore’s new mass transit system primarily consists of 4 transit corridors:
GREEN LINE: 27km long
Gajju Mattha to Shahdara
In operation as the Lahore Metro Bus since 2013 on
a Daily Subsidy of PKR4million. Built as an elevated
Bus Viaduct, the Lahore Metro Green line was
originally a North-South Rail line and had both
underground and over-ground sections. Kalma
Chowk Stop was to be an Interchange Station and
was underground. Designed for train with 380,000
riders per day originally current bus estimated
ridership ranges between 70,000 – 180,000 daily.
on the Green Line. Making the system overhead,
system is highly damaging for the environment and
character of the city, greatly amplifying noise and
compromising security for properties along the
route.
Impact:
Decreased Property Value, Loss to business,
alienation of users from built landscape. Increased
noise and hanging pollution.
LAHORE METRO: GREEN LINELahore’s new mass transit system primarily consists of 4 transit corridors
LAHORE METROLahore’s new mass transit system primarily consists of 4 transit corridors:
ORANGE LINE: 27.1km long
Ali Town to Dera Gujjran
Crossing Chauburji, Anarkali, GPO, Lakshmi Chowk,
Railway Station, and Shalimar through Lahore’s most
historic and densely populated areas. The Orange
Line consists of 25.9km elevated viaduct with heights
varying between 59’ – 26’ and a 1.7km long "Semi-
Underground” section using Cut and Cover
technology.
Impact: The cut and cover section of the OLMT
destroy everything on the surface in its path and will
cause the most impact on ground. Buildings both
public and private will be directly impacted by the
Orange Line. OLMT’s elevated track will look into
properties compromising viability, security and value.
250,000 estimated daily ridership. Originally the
OLMT was to connect with PAKISTAN RAILWAYS at
Lahore Main Station.

PURPLE LINE: 19km long
Data Darbar to Ghazi Road
The Route includes Aitchison College, Mall of
Lahore, & Fortress Stadium stops,
Impact: Expected cutting of trees on Mall road from
the High Court to Mian Mir Bridge. compromised
security at sensitive locations such as Corps
Commanders Residence on Aziz Bhatti Road.
LAHORE METRO: PURPLE LINELahore’s new mass transit system primarily consists of 4 transit corridors
LAHORE METROLahore’s new mass transit system primarily consists of 4 transit corridors:
BLUE LINE: 24km long

PUNJAB LAND ACQUISTION ACT, 1894 Article 23.
In determining the amount of compensation to be awarded for land acquired under
this Act, the Court shall take into consideration – first, the market-value of the land at
the date of the publication of the notification….fourthly, the damage (if any) sustained
by the person interested, at the time of the Collector’s taking possession of the land,
by reason of the acquisition injuriously affecting his other property … in any
… manner, or his earnings; fifthly, if, in consequence of the acquisition of land …
(persons are) compelled to change residence or place of business, the Reasonable
expenses (if any) incidental to such change; and sixthly, the damage (if any) bona fide
resulting from diminution of the profits of the land between the time of the
publication of the declaration under section 6 and the time of the Collector’s
Taking possession of the land. In addition to the market-value of the land as above
provided, the Court shall award a sum of 15% on market-value, in consideration
of the compulsory nature of the acquisition, if the acquisition has been made for a
public purpose and a sum of 25%on such market-value if the acquisition has been
made for a Company.
Relocation costs of all public services, new land/new builds/
refurbishment/additional construction of those that are partly acquired.
Permanent loss to services in catchment areas. For example the Institute for
Disabled Children. Serves 250 families in Anarkali/Jain Mandir area. Other
examples of unaccounted costs include costs for repairs, relocation etc. of
public schools, clinics, police and fire stations, railway infrastructures,
amenity plots, post offices, footpaths etc.
RELOCATION COSTS
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE REQUIRING MITIGATION MEASURES (from EIA Report)
Disruption in daily routine/ activities of locals and visitors
Structural Stability in the patch where cut and cover will be done.
Solid waste generation and due management during construction and operation;
Accidental leaks/spills of hazardous chemicals from construction activities &
machinery

• OLMT EIA states total environmental cost at Rs. 18,512,150. This includes
Rs. 576,000 for environmental monitoring, Rs.16,936,150 for Tree
Plantation and Rs. 100,000 environmental training cost.
• No money is allocated for actual mitigation measures during construction.
Disturbance to public movement during construction
Air + Noise Pollution due to the operating of construction machinery during gestation
phase of the project.
Permanent Subsidy
(http://www. Brecorder.com/br-research/44:miscellaneous/4530:is-
orange-line-worth-the-cost/.
Permanent Subsidy. Green Line PKR 4
million/day (GOPb). Per annum the
subsidy alone is $0.14 billion. To date the
subsidy has been $0.28B and is to
last for 50years.
Permanent (estimated) Subsidy on OLMT
PKR171/passenger is the break even cost of a
trip/passenger each fare kept at Rs. 20. The
subsidy will be Rs 151 per trip. Net subsidy on
fares for the OLMT will be $1.38B/year
PERMANENT ENVIRONMENTAL & HEALTH IMPACT:
Urban Heat Island Effect from tarmacization
and removal of green spaces. Plus choice of
viaduct technology will have the following
effects. The elevated viaducts act as heater
tubes and also concentrate pollutants and
increase the life of diseases.
Temperature rise in the city.
Increased illness as well as heat related
death. Secondary effect on increased
energy requirements and health related
costs in Lahore.
3653 trees will be cut. Including 2907
mature trees ( GOPb figures from EIA
report)
Impact on Heritage
PC1 does not include cost of damage prevention to building stock 400 years old

PROJECT VIABILITY.
According to the PC 1 for the Orange Line economic viability of the project is
based on ridership, reduction in vehicle use/petrol consumption and time
saved of the riders. Plus job creation.
Govt estimates, Orange Line. Projected ridership 250,000 passengers /day +
Green Metro Bus Line 170,000 passengers/day + Purple Line x passengers per
/day + Blue Line x passengers/day
Total population of Lahore = 11 million
% of the population of Lahore served by the Orange Line + Green Line = 3.8%
% of the population Lahore served by the Orange Line= 2.2%
% of the population of the Punjab served by the Orange Line plus Green Line = 0.4 %
% of the population of the Punjab served by the Orange Line = 0.2 %
REDUCTION IN VEHICLE DEPENDENCY & FUEL :
Considering the Green Line as a test case for the efficiency of the Metro System:
Most bus commuters use another form of
transport to get to and from the
bus stations. This has not resulted in lesser
traffic on Ferozepur Road. Metro Bus
Authority in assessing its “success” only
factors in users of the bus system.
Reconstruction of the Ferozepur road traffic
flow system by the same
agencies/contractors undertaking the
Orange Line road work has led to increased
distances between nodes and generated
traffic jams and bottle necks. This in turn
translates into longer engine running hours,
more fuel consumption and more pollution.
The Metro System once built will not
service the majority of city dwellers.
After 2yrs. Green line of being in use the
corridor has not led to accelerated
development on or better services on the
transit corridor.
Job Creation via OLMT?
• Job creation through the transit corridor’s construction is temporary and
non-renewable. Post construction , jobs created to meet operating system
requirements, station maintenance and manning of station shops is a
small percentage of total jobs lost due to displacement of homes,
businesses etc.
• Removal of existing shops, businesses, hawkers will lead to GDP losses to
and harm the urban poor more so. In high population, poor areas from
Chauburji –Shalimar, the damage to both social and economic networks
may be irreversible.
• Removal of existing public transport jobs from roads wagons etc . 250
wagons have been reportedly removed from the Ferozepur road route
• Loss of remaining property value along elevated route
Property Value & Urban Renewal?
Energy Consumption: The train will run on the existing energy grid of
Lahore. Power supply system High Voltage Substation For the whole
line, two high voltage substations are designed, which are
located nearby U.E.T Station and Shahnoor Station. Each high
voltage substation is connected to 132kV power supply from
the upstream local substation
Dedicated power supply of around 80 MW capacity has to be
derived from existing grid station system of LESCO. The
electricity management plan during construction will be given
by LESCO at the time of relocation of concerned poles in
respective areas.
http://epd.punjab.gov.pk/system/files/Section-3-Project%20Description.pdf
LOAD SHEDDING IN LAHORE: 6-12 HOURS/DAY
Pakistan has been facing substantial shortages in the power sector and the
province of Punjab is no exception. In Punjab, at present, there is a demand-
supply gap of about 4000 MW which is increasing at a rate of 6% per annum.
Punjab with 68% of the consumption of generated power and gas is worst
affected and has to endure both power and gas load shedding with adverse
social and economic consequences.
http://energy.punjab.gov.pk/
Security, Privacy & OLMT:
• 25.4 km of the track is elevated at a height of a 2.5-6 story building.
The track is at points very close to buildings on either side
• 250,000 passengers will be able to see into 100,000s of homes
• Current Security measures will be rendered ineffective.
• Churches, mosques, schools, hospitals and public buildings will be
vulnerable to terrorist attack

Current Metro Project: Used tunnel technology and elevated tracks to minimize
physical impact on ground. Time line for completion for whole network (from 2005):
15-25 years. Timeline for completion Metro network = Unknown. Orange line
estimated cost 2006 = $1.75bn + Total Cost for Green, Orange, Purple + Blue Lines
2006 = $6billlion. Total Estimated Cost of Current Metro Project = Unknown
NORINCO Technical Proposal forms the basis for the OLMT Project. Not the JICA study.
LACK OF INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT
Public Hearing in June 2015. Concerns were raised about land acquisition, the threat to heritage
sites and the environment, none were sufficiently addressed. Not disclosed. The exact route,
exact land to be acquired, detailed plans, the EIA report. 3 sections of the EIA were placed on line by the
GOPb only
The LDA, TEPA, P and D dept , NESPAK, the Lahore Commissioner, and the current DG
archaeology have been asked for information/public documents in writing no information has
been forthcoming
The EIA was prepared by NESPAK, the same company hired as consultants to monitor the
build.
The PC1 was also prepared by NESPAK. Checked and Approved by General Manager
Operations, Punjab Metrobus Authority. Approved by Housing, Urban Development & Public
Health Engineering Department (HUD & PHED)-
DDEMANDS: STOP CONSTRUCTION IMMEDIATELY,
CONDUCT A FULL PUBLIC REVIEW OF
THE PROJECT
CONSULT STAKEHOLDERS ESPECIALLY
THOSE DIRECTLY AFFECTED.
PROCEED IN A MORE DEMOCRATIC,
INFORMED AND LAWFUL MANNER
Increase buses on grade on existing roads, establish bus lanes, cycle
lanes. High taxation on private cars will relieve traffic and pollution
Revitalize and refurbish the existing North South alignment Railway
Tracks. Use the existing tracks for commuter traffic. These cover much
of the route of the Orange and Purple Lines
Widen pavements not roads
For long term planning (next 25-100 years), use Tunnel Boring
Machine (TBM) with specific focus on heritage and human costs with
regards to station exit entry positions. TBM spread over decades will
not put a huge pressure on the economy as this is doing. London
Underground started being built in the 19th century, it is still being
built.

  • 67. 25 properties include sites protected under the National Antiquities Act 1975 and/or The Punjab Special Premises (Preservation) Ordinance 1985 which state that no new construction can happen within 200ft of a listed site. At Shalimar Bagh the World Heritage Convention 1972 mandates a 250’ distance. The OLMT alignment from Chauburji to Shalimar passes through the most historic areas of the city oblivious to the specified distance on these locations. Key heritage sites being affected are listed as:
  • 68. Circa 1849. Protected under Punjab Special Premises Preservation Ordinance 1985.
  • 69. GPO circa 1849. Nabha Road Veranda being cut where marked. Front Garden being taken.

  • 80. PROJECT VIABILITY. According to the PC 1 for the Orange Line economic viability of the project is based on ridership, reduction in vehicle use/petrol consumption and time saved of the riders. Plus job creation. Govt estimates, Orange Line. Projected ridership 250,000 passengers /day + Green Metro Bus Line 170,000 passengers/day + Purple Line x passengers per /day + Blue Line x passengers/day
  • 81. Total population of Lahore = 11 million % of the population of Lahore served by the Orange Line + Green Line = 3.8% % of the population Lahore served by the Orange Line= 2.2% % of the population of the Punjab served by the Orange Line plus Green Line = 0.4 % % of the population of the Punjab served by the Orange Line = 0.2 %
  • 82. REDUCTION IN VEHICLE DEPENDENCY & FUEL : Considering the Green Line as a test case for the efficiency of the Metro System: Most bus commuters use another form of transport to get to and from the bus stations. This has not resulted in lesser traffic on Ferozepur Road. Metro Bus Authority in assessing its “success” only factors in users of the bus system. Reconstruction of the Ferozepur road traffic flow system by the same agencies/contractors undertaking the Orange Line road work has led to increased distances between nodes and generated traffic jams and bottle necks. This in turn translates into longer engine running hours, more fuel consumption and more pollution. The Metro System once built will not service the majority of city dwellers. After 2yrs. Green line of being in use the corridor has not led to accelerated development on or better services on the transit corridor.
  • 83. Job Creation via OLMT? • Job creation through the transit corridor’s construction is temporary and non-renewable. Post construction , jobs created to meet operating system requirements, station maintenance and manning of station shops is a small percentage of total jobs lost due to displacement of homes, businesses etc. • Removal of existing shops, businesses, hawkers will lead to GDP losses to and harm the urban poor more so. In high population, poor areas from Chauburji –Shalimar, the damage to both social and economic networks may be irreversible. • Removal of existing public transport jobs from roads wagons etc . 250 wagons have been reportedly removed from the Ferozepur road route

  • 85. • Loss of remaining property value along elevated route Property Value & Urban Renewal?
  • 86. Energy Consumption: The train will run on the existing energy grid of Lahore. Power supply system High Voltage Substation For the whole line, two high voltage substations are designed, which are located nearby U.E.T Station and Shahnoor Station. Each high voltage substation is connected to 132kV power supply from the upstream local substation Dedicated power supply of around 80 MW capacity has to be derived from existing grid station system of LESCO. The electricity management plan during construction will be given by LESCO at the time of relocation of concerned poles in respective areas. http://epd.punjab.gov.pk/system/files/Section-3-Project%20Description.pdf
  • 87. LOAD SHEDDING IN LAHORE: 6-12 HOURS/DAY Pakistan has been facing substantial shortages in the power sector and the province of Punjab is no exception. In Punjab, at present, there is a demand- supply gap of about 4000 MW which is increasing at a rate of 6% per annum. Punjab with 68% of the consumption of generated power and gas is worst affected and has to endure both power and gas load shedding with adverse social and economic consequences. http://energy.punjab.gov.pk/
  • 88. Security, Privacy & OLMT: • 25.4 km of the track is elevated at a height of a 2.5-6 story building. The track is at points very close to buildings on either side • 250,000 passengers will be able to see into 100,000s of homes • Current Security measures will be rendered ineffective. • Churches, mosques, schools, hospitals and public buildings will be vulnerable to terrorist attack

  • 92. Financial Wastefulness: Two Transport studies conducted by JICA reportedly cost between $9M and $1B between 2006-2008 Previous LRMTS Metro Proposal Vs. Current Metro Project: Used tunnel technology and elevated tracks to minimize physical impact on ground. Time line for completion for whole network (from 2005): 15-25 years. Timeline for completion Metro network = Unknown. Orange line estimated cost 2006 = $1.75bn + Total Cost for Green, Orange, Purple + Blue Lines 2006 = $6billlion. Total Estimated Cost of Current Metro Project = Unknown NORINCO Technical Proposal forms the basis for the OLMT Project. Not the JICA study.
  • 93. LACK OF INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT Public Hearing in June 2015. Concerns were raised about land acquisition, the threat to heritage sites and the environment, none were sufficiently addressed. Not disclosed. The exact route, exact land to be acquired, detailed plans, the EIA report. 3 sections of the EIA were placed on line by the GOPb only The LDA, TEPA, P and D dept , NESPAK, the Lahore Commissioner, and the current DG archaeology have been asked for information/public documents in writing no information has been forthcoming The EIA was prepared by NESPAK, the same company hired as consultants to monitor the build. The PC1 was also prepared by NESPAK. Checked and Approved by General Manager Operations, Punjab Metrobus Authority. Approved by Housing, Urban Development & Public Health Engineering Department (HUD & PHED)-
  • 94. DDEMANDS: STOP CONSTRUCTION IMMEDIATELY, CONDUCT A FULL PUBLIC REVIEW OF THE PROJECT CONSULT STAKEHOLDERS ESPECIALLY THOSE DIRECTLY AFFECTED. PROCEED IN A MORE DEMOCRATIC, INFORMED AND LAWFUL MANNER
  • 95. Increase buses on grade on existing roads, establish bus lanes, cycle lanes. High taxation on private cars will relieve traffic and pollution Revitalize and refurbish the existing North South alignment Railway Tracks. Use the existing tracks for commuter traffic. These cover much of the route of the Orange and Purple Lines Widen pavements not roads For long term planning (next 25-100 years), use Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) with specific focus on heritage and human costs with regards to station exit entry positions. TBM spread over decades will not put a huge pressure on the economy as this is doing. London Underground started being built in the 19th century, it is still being built. VIABLE ALTERNATIVES
