Karachi Circular Railway
(詳細はpublic transit system in Karachi with aims to connect several industrial and commercial districts within the city to the outlying suburbs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Karachi Circular Railway Revival, Pakistan )〕 KCR will primarily serve the Metropolitan Karachi Area conurbation, with operations extending to several other communities. Pakistan's first such public system, KCR began regular passenger service in 1969 but was shutdown in 1999 due to gross mismanagement. In August 2012, JICA agreed to a $2.5 billion loan to the Karachi Urban Transport Corporation, which will oversee the rebuilding process.〔http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-13-25688-Japan-ready-for-a-big-$25-billion-loan-to-Pakistan〕 The plans call for upgrades and rebuilding of the 50 kilometer long intra-city circular line which will operate 24 trains facilitating 700,000 commuters, making 3-minute stops at 23 stations.〔http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/business/15-Jul-2013/pr-finalises-karachi-s-circular-railways-file-work〕
==History==
Karachi Circular Railway began operation in 1969 through Pakistan Railways with the aim of providing better transportation facilities to Karachi and the surrounding suburbs. The original KCR line extended from Drigh Road Station and ended at Karachi City Station carrying 6 million passengers annually.〔(Karachi Urban Transport Corporation, Official website ) Retrieved on 4 October 2012〕 The KCR was in instant success and made a significant profit in its first year of operation. During the 1970s and 1980s the KCR was at its peak with 104 daily trains, of which 80 trains ran on the main track while the remaining 24 ran on the loop line. During the 1990s, the private transporters of Karachi contracted KCR staff who became indulged in corruption. By 1994 the KCR was in incurring major losses and as a result the vast majority of trains were discontinued with only a few running on the Loop. In 1999 KCR operations were discontinued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Karachi Circular Railway )〕 The result was instant gridlock on Karachi streets. In 2005, revival plans for the railway were initiated to fulfil the growing transportation needs of Karachi. The City District Government Karachi was already making plans for a revival and construction of a combined "Karachi Metro".〔
