Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study

Karachi City is the industrial and commercial hub of Pakistan. Its role in the national
economy is pivotal. The current population is over 16 million growing at the rate of 4 %
including natural growth and migration from the other provinces.
Karachi Transport Study was conducted during the period 1987-91. The Study
recommended building an 87 kilometers network of transit ways in the major traffic
corridors of Karachi and its suburbs for exclusive use of mass transit vehicles. These transit
ways were to be designed and built as a bus ways convertible to Light Rail Transit Ways
network. The transit way network was translated into mass transit Master Plan comprising
of 6 priority corridors. Despite, all possible efforts, there had been no progress towards
implementation of the same.
On the other hand, the recent economic growth in Karachi is significant with rapid
population increase and active land development in suburban area, and the city has
expanded very rapidly. Those changes have caused motor-vehicle traffic increase and
resulted in heavy traffic congestion due to lack of mass transit system.
As immediate measure to minimize traffic congestion, City District Government of Karachi
(CDGK) initiated road improvement projects including construction flyovers / underpasses
and road widening program. As a result, a lot of flyovers have been constructed at
intersections in the city. Now, the urban structure that the routes of BRT and LRT based on
as their preconditions has significantly changing.
With the blessings of Government of Pakistan, a detailed study on private private
partnership based environment friendly public transport system for Karachi was conducted
by Karachi Mass Transit Cell, CDGK and a private consultant which recommended a Bus
Rapid Transit network of 140 km of exclusive corridors.
Subsequently, ADB has agreed for technical and financial assistant to implement first 3 BRT
lines of 45 km under its first trench. However, the offer was deferred due to some
reservations regarding implementation / execution of the project. However, attempt has been
made by GoS to approach ADB for the deferment decision through Economic Affairs Div.,
GoP.
Further, in line with the recommendation of the above study report, the GoP has agreed to
provide 2.5 billion subsidies for induction of 4,000 CNG dedicated buses during next 5
years. The first phase of this project would be kicked off with 500 buses by 2010 under the
public- private partnership funding arrangement.
Meanwhile, preparation for a rehabilitation project of Karachi Circular Railway, which is
not included in Karachi Mass Transit Corridors, shows progress recently. The master plan
needs to be reviewed.
Karachi Strategic Development Plan-2020 (KSDP 2020), approved by City District
Government of Karachi on 2007, proposes improvement of public mass transit system that
provides the convenience and inexpensive for the people as urban transportation mode. That
featured LRT and BRT, and makes reference to the transportation networking considering
connection with other modes and possibility of transit from private car.
From the background mentioned above, to formulate an urban transportation improvement
project with high priority, the Government of Islamic Republic of Pakistan requested the
Study for Karachi Transportation Improvement Project (hereinafter referred as the Study)
to Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Scope of Work of the Study was
agreed between the Provincial Government of Sindh, City District Government of Karachi,
and JICA on 7th October 2009. The Joint Venture of Nippon Koei Co., Ltd., Yachiyo

Chapter 2 Approach
2.1 Understandings and Major Issues of the Study

2.1.1 Target Year


The target year of the Karachi Urban Transport Master Plan (KUTMP) is 2030. On the other
hand, the target year of Karachi Strategic Development Plan (KSDP) 2020, the official
development plan of City District Government of Karachi (CDGK), is 2020. This means
that it is necessary to establish socio-economic framework, urban structure, land-use, and
other preconditions after the year 2020 in the Study.
2.1.2 Previous Traffic Surveys
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has supported Person Trip Study for
Karachi City in 2005, and the Study on Future Traffic Demand Forecast of Karachi City in
2008. This time, a person trip survey, including a household interview survey for 40,000
households and the similar traffic survey in 2008 will be carried out. The reason of the
re-survey is that the previous person trip survey is not enough to evaluate mass transit
projects in terms of accuracy. In other word, high quality management will be required for
the traffic surveys in the Study.
2.1.3 Rapid Changes in Urban Environment for Karachi Mass Transit Corridors
Karachi Mass Transit Cell (KMTC), CDGK has made plans of six Light Rail Transits (LRT)
and three Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The number of LRT routes was reduced from six to five
because the plan of LRT Line-3 overlapped a BRT route. In addition, LRT Line-4 and
Line-5 have overlapping section with the route of Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) project,
which has already approved by the federal government in 2009.
In recent years, flyovers and elevated highways have been constructed along major roads in
Karachi, including the corridors of the planned LRT and BRT. From this, construction of an
elevated structure for mass transit system along the corridors became more difficult. In
addition, land use changes along the corridors have been also significant.
The city is growing and urban structure is changing. It is necessary to consider these rapid
changes in urban environment for the planning of mass transit system in Karachi.
2.1.4 Ambitious Land-use Plan and Socio-economic Framework in KSDP
In Karachi Strategic Development Plan (KSDP) 2020, it is assumed that the population
framework in 2020 is 28.5 million, which is larger than the present population by 10 million.
To accommodate this population, urban development in the suburban area is planned in
KSDP. If the population increases by the same increase rate, the population would exceed
30 million in 2030, which is as large as the metropolitan area of Tokyo. It is necessary to
consider carefully whether the new master plan should apply the framework or not.
2.1.5 Feasibility Study of a Mass Transit Project
The feasibility study of a high priority project on mass rapid transit system will be carried
out based on the Karachi Urban Transport Master Plan.

2.1.6 Organization of Project Implementation and O&M


Although studies for mass transit system in Karachi have been carried out, no project has
been implemented so far. Karachi Mass Transit Cell (KMTC), which is the counterpart
organization of the Study, is supposed to be the implementation body of the project in this
study, but it is not clear whether KMTC has enough capacity to implement a large-scale
mass transit project. KMTC recognizes the importance of capacity enhancement. From this,
the Study needs to examine the capacity building of the implementation body as early as
possible to implement the project. The study on the capacity building for the operator of the
project is also needed including the study on the establishment of a new organization and
private sector involvement. The roles and relationships with the relevant agencies and the
Capacity Development of the implementation body and operator will be necessary to ensure
that they will function well.
2.1.7 Environmental and Social Considerations
Information collection and analysis on the present conditions of both the social and natural
environment relating to the mass transit project with high priority. The information
including the policies of the environmental and social consideration by other donors, should
be widely grasped in advance because social impacts including involuntary resettlement
may occur depending on the project proposed.

2.2 Technical Approach

2.2.1 More Accurate Household Interview Survey than the Previous Survey
In general, a city has morning peak hours and afternoon peak hours for commuters and
lunch time peak hours. In the center of Karachi City, the second peak is observed after the
peak hours by commuters when most shopping open. This means that the information of
commuter trips is not enough for the demand forecast and the information of business and
private trips will be also important. Collection of business and private trips in an interview
is more difficult than that of commuter trips because such the former trips are irregular
while the latter trips are one of the daily activities, which are easy to remember for
interviewees. Generally, when the number of interview items increases, interviewees tend to
forget their irregular trips. Therefore, interview items will be carefully selected and the
survey will focus on collecting accurate trip information.
Peak O/D can be produced from Private and business trips are also
commuter trip information. important in this Study.

2.2.2 Realistic Framework Setting
The development plan in KSDP 2020 is based on the estimation that the population in
Karachi would reach 28.5 million in 2020. If the estimation in KSDP 2020 is used as the
starting point in 2020, the population in 2030 might not be appropriate for the
socio-economic framework of the transport master plan. The JICA Study Team will review
the projection in KSDP and propose a realistic scenario for the socio-economic framework.

2.2.3 Formulation of Master Plan based on Scenario Analysis


The urban transport system in Karachi faces various challenges as shown in the figure
below.

Figure 2-4. Challenges of Urban Transport System in Karachi

To cope with these challenges, it is necessary to establish the priority area of urban transport
in view of not only mass transit system, but also urban development. The JICA Study Team
will analyze alternatives considering the following scenarios.

Urban Development Scenario


The performance of urban transport system depends on the relationship with the urban
structure, and the development of urban transport system should conform to that of urban
development. The table below shows the two possible scenarios of urban development.
However, throughout the course of this study, it is expected that other scenarios may be
emerged, including mixed of the two scenarios shown in the table below.

Mass Transit Development Scenario


In addition to the urban development scenario, the selection of network pattern of public
transport is also an important element for formulating the urban transport master plan. The
following scenarios will be analyzed.

2.2.4 New Proposal of Mass Transit Corridors


The existing plans of LRT and BRT corridors face the rapid changes in urban environment
and need to be reviewed. The JICA Study Team will reexamine these plans and propose a
new mass transit network.
2.2.5 Capacity Building and Transfer of Knowledge
In order to implement the project after the feasibility study, capacity building is important,
and the capacity of the counterpart will be evaluated. The JICA Study Team will prepare the
technology transfer plan in the field of traffic survey, demand forecast, economic evaluation,
railway engineering, and other relating subjects based on the assessment of the capacity of
the counterpart. The JICA Study Team will hold seminars in the Master Plan Stage and the
Feasibility Study Stage.

Chapter 3 Methodology of Master Plan


3.1 Review of policies, development plans and past studies

The JICA Study Team will analyze the relevant documents to review (i) urban development
policies, plans, related laws and regulation, (ii) policies and development programs in
transport sector by federal, provincial, city and foreign donors, and (iii) previous transport
sector studies.
3.1.1 Review of Urban Development Policies, Plans, Related Laws and Regulation
Karachi Strategic Development Plan (KSDP) 2020 will be reviewed as the official
development plan of the City District Government of Karachi (CDGK). The methodology
of population estimation and the infrastructure plan to accommodate the population will be
focused on in the review. The JICA Study Team will collect laws and regulations related to
urban development and hold meetings with Master Plan Group of Offices (MPGO), CDGK
for the review work of KSDP 2020.
3.1.2 Review of Policies and Development Programs in Transport Sector
The plan of Karachi Transit Corridors will be analyzed in details, focusing on the changes in
socio-economic situation, land-use, and infrastructure which were the preconditions of the
previous plan.

3.2 Traffic Surveys

3.2.1 Traffic Surveys to be conducted in the Study


For the basis of the demand forecast and the analysis of the present traffic condition, traffic
surveys will be carried out as shown in the table below. Most of the surveys except for
Household Interview Survey are the same surveys conducted by JICA in 2008. Therefore,
the result of the previous surveys will be reviewed and the survey volume will be reduced if
the iteration of the survey will not be required for the demand forecast in this study.
The JICA Study Team will subcontract the surveys to a local company. The traffic surveys
will be carried out with due considerations to technology transfer.

3.2.2 Household Interview Survey


(1) Interview Items
An interview document consists of the following interview form:
Household Information
Member Information
Trip Information
The number of interview items should be limited to the extent where interviewees do not
feel burden to answer the questions. Trip information of all household members above 5
years of age should be collected.
The following interview items are proposed in the HIS. Although the interviewer should fill
in the form, it should be prepared in local language so that the interviewer can ask
interviewees to fill in the form in such case that other household member is outside the

13
Karachi Transportation Improvement Project

home and the interviewer need to visit the home again.


Survey Form Interview Item
Household Information 1) Name of Interviewee,
2) Address,
3) Contact number
4) The number of household members
5) The total monthly income of all household members
Member Information 1) Age,
(for all household members 2) Sex,
above 5 years of age) 3) Profession,
4) Job (Sector & Status),
5) Work Location
6) Car License,
7) Car ownership (including car type)
Trip Information 1) Purpose for Trip
(for all household members 2) Origin (address, type of origin, departure time)
above 5 years of age) 3) Destination (address, type of origin, arrival time)
4) Transport mode
5) Transfer (address or place)

Many of Karachi citizens are Moslem, and the mobility and the activity are very different
among men and women by religious reason. For instance, the reason to go out is limited and
number of trips is smaller than men, when women go out, they need to take a party, and so
on. These matters should be considered with counterparts before implementing the PT
survey and traffic surveys.
(2) Pre-Survey (Pilot Survey)
To evaluate the contents of interview items and the method of the field survey, a pre-survey
will be carried out before the field survey. The interview forms will be finalized based on
the pre-survey. The number of samples for the pre-survey will be 10.
(3) Traffic Zone
Union Council (UC) Administration is the unit of traffic zone. The Household Interview
Survey aims to produce an origin-destination (OD) matrix based on the traffic zone.
Some of the UC-base zones have a long shape along the road and the others have a big area
in the suburban area, and those kinds of zones need to reconsider the zone shape and the
size in this survey.
(4) Military land
There are many military lands that are called Cantonment Area in Karachi City. Some of
military lands contain the residential area, and those may be important to make the transport
plan. However, military lands are not under the control of the City office which works as a
counterpart in this study, and the collection of data may be difficult in those areas. Its
necessary to take countermeasures well before implementing of the PT survey and traffic
surveys.
(5) Sampling
The JICA Study Team understands that the list of households by Union Council (UC) in
Karachi City is not available, and population is the only reliable official data at UC level.
Population by age by sex is only available at the city level. In such a condition, it is difficult
to validate the statistical reliability in the expansion process of sample data. The number of
households by UC for the year 2010 will be given by Karachi City or will be estimated by
the JICA Study Team using available data.

14
Karachi Transportation Improvement Project

The number of samples is 40,000 households in total. The sampling rate (R) will be: R =
40,000/NH, where NH is the total number of households in Karachi in 2010. The expansion
rate (E) will be: E = 1/R.
The number of samples by UC will be calculated in proportion with the number of
households by UC. An UC will be divided into several sub-zones considering the
organization of the field work team. The number of households by sub-zone will be
estimated by counting the number of buildings using satellite image, and the number of
samples to be collected in a sub-zone will be calculated by applying the sampling rate.
In a sub-zone, sample houses will be picked up at random. To ensure the randomness, a
regular rule will be established according the characteristics of the area.
(6) Interview
This survey will collect trip information of all household members above 5 years of age,
and it is necessary to ask them about their trip each by each. An interview team will visit a
selected house and confirm an adequate interviewee. The questionnaires are so complex that
the interviewer should plainly and carefully explain the contents to the interviewee. In case
that some members are out from home (and this will be the normal case), the interviewer
should ask the interviewee to fill in the form of other household members and visit the
house again. Because of this process, the number of samples which an interview team can
collect is limited. The JICA Study Team assumed it four samples per interview team per
day.
(7) Data Processing
The interview forms which are collected in the field survey will be compiled as digital data
through careful verification of data and data punching.
(8) Schedule
The necessary period for the survey depends on the capacity of the survey company for this
HIS. The total team-months for the interview are 400 (40,000 / 4 / 25 days). Assuming a
team consists of two surveyors, the total man-months are calculated as 800. The table below
shows the necessary number of interviewers by survey months.

Considering the capacity of survey companies in Pakistan, from our experiences in other
projects, recruiting and training of more than 200 interviewers would be difficult. Therefore,
it is proposed to carry out the HIS in five months as shown in the figure below.

3.3.3 Problem Identification of Transport System in Karachi


The problems of urban transport system in Karachi have been reiterated as: traffic
congestion, poor road maintenance, a large number of traffic accidents, air pollution from
vehicle exhaust gas, overcrowded and uncomfortable bus ride, insufficient and poor bus
services, lack of traffic management, traffic chaos by flood in rainy season, and so on.
The JICA Study Team will review these problems by the result of traffic survey, site visits,
and other existing studies, and summarize as issues to solve the problems, especially
focusing on interoperability of various modes. The target is to clarify the necessity to
develop mass transit system.
3.3.4 Analysis of Urban Transport Organization in Karachi
Relevant organizations for urban transport in Karachi will be identified including private
sector such as bus associations. The roles and responsibilities for public transport
development will be analyzed.
3.3.5 Land Use Survey
The present land use will be analyzed using the present land use map (2005) in KSDP 2020.
Area by land use type will be calculated from the land use map using GIS for each traffic
zone. To check the recent land use, satellite images will be obtained as shown in the table
below.

3.4 Formulation of Planning Framework

3.4.1 Setting of Socio-economic Framework


KSDP has already established the planning framework for 2020. Therefore, new
socioeconomic frame for 2030 will be set while reviewing the KSDP framework in this
study. In this case, several scenarios will be prepared because there are so many uncertain
elements to set the economic growth rate in the future. Some elements such as the
influences by a worldwide recession in 2007 and the decline of the economic growth in the
oil-producing countries in the immediate past and so on, which influences may not have
reflected to the statistics yet, will be also considered to set the framework as much as
possible.

Growth scenario High growth, middle growth, and low growth

3.4.2 Land Use Plan


KSDP has established the future land use plan in 2020. However, the zone setting is too
complicated to use for the base of traffic planning. The purpose of land use planning in this
study is 1) to formulate the urban areas which are corresponding to the traffic facility
development plan, and 2) to set the future framework for the demand forecast. Therefore,
land use plan will be prepared by a more rough zoning classification (residential area,
commercial area, industrial area, and others) and population density classification to be able
to analyze the traffic generating density (low, middle and high). The land use plan will be
prepared by considering not only the development potential but also the limiting condition
from the water supply and the power supply.
And then, socioeconomic frame by planning zone will be estimated by using GIS
corresponding to the result of the future land use plan.
3.4.3 Financial Frame
Karachi City needs to develop the infrastructure such as road, water supply, sewage water
and so on in order to achieve the KSDP 2020, and it is thought that the development of the
mass-transit traffic project which will be proposed by this study will be difficult by using
the City and State budgets simply.
Therefore, it is necessary to get the support from the Country and the investment from
private company and foreign countries. Here, a financial frame in Karachi City and Sindh
State will be estimated according to the scenarios by economic growth.

3.5 Traffic Demand Forecast

3.5.1 Modeling
Traffic demand will be forecasted by a commonly used 4-step demand forecasting method.
Simple models as much as possible will be developed in this study in consideration of
carrying models into KMTC.
Trip production
The number of total trip of the entire Karachi City will be estimated based on the unit rate
obtained by the PT survey.
Trip generation and attraction
Generally, generation and attraction models will be developed by using the socioeconomic
data of each traffic zone. However, the statistics in Karachi City doesnt have prepared well
and only population and the number of student by traffic zone are available now. Therefore,
it may be difficult to make attraction models because there are no employment statistics.
Trip distribution
The methods of estimation of distribution traffic are 1) present pattern method and 2)
gravity model method briefly. The gravity model will be adopted in this study because the
expansion of urban area will be planned in KSDP.

18
Karachi Transportation Improvement Project

Modal split
Modal choice computes the proportion of trips between each origin and destination that use
a particular transportation mode, and main modes are walking, cars, buses and motorcycles.
The structure of modal choice model will be decided by using the plan of transport networks
and the result of the analysis of PT survey.
One of the important themes is how to plan the mass-transit networks in this study.
Especially forecasting by traffic mode is the most important work in the traffic demand
forecast. Its necessary to clarify the demand structure through the analysis of the factors of
modal choice by mode and the above-mentioned factors. When the traffic by mode will be
forecasted, following two ways will be implemented. One way is to estimate the volume
through the demand structure, and the other way is to set the target value that public
transport mode should share first, and then to consider how much provide the services to
achieve the target value.
Trip assignment
Final step of 4-step demand forecasting method is to assign the traffic demand to the traffic
networks. Assignment allocates trips between an origin and destination by a particular mode
to transport route, which is the minimum of the generalized cost. This calculation will be
implemented separately for road networks and mass-transit networks.
3.5.2 Simulation
Various cases of demands will be forecasted by using the above-mentioned method and
JICA-STRADA.
Especially, the demand on the road networks will be simulated by using the user equilibrium
assignment method or incremental assignment method.
When the demand on the mass-transit networks will be simulated, many factors such as fare,
travel time, waiting time, transfer time, distance by walk and so on will be considered.

3.6 Urban Transport Development Policy

3.6.1 Urban Transport Scenario


To establish the urban transport development policy, several scenarios will be proposed and
evaluated for (i) urban development strategy, and (ii) mass transit development strategy.
(1) Scenario for Urban Development Strategy
Karachi City faces two issues in urban development: (i) improvement of urbanized area, and
(ii) city expansion. From this, the following two priorities will be analyzed.
Intensive transport development in the center area to solve the serious congestion
Transport development in the suburban area to support the city expansion
Pros and cons of these scenarios will be analyzed, and the best approach, including the
mixed scenario of the two, will be proposed.
(2) Scenario for Mass Transit Development
There are various public transport modes in the world, most of which have been developed
according to the characteristics of each city and various conditions. The following scenarios
will be analyzed:
Priority construction of high capacity transit system along major high demand route,
such as Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) which can carry a large number of passengers
Construction of medium capacity transit system such as Light Rail Transit (LRT) along
major corridors

19
Karachi Transportation Improvement Project

Introduction of Bus Rapid Transit along arterial roads to cover a large area.
Pros and cons of these scenarios will be analyzed, and the best approach will be proposed.
3.6.2 Development Policies
Based on the analysis of the urban transport scenario and discussion with the counterpart,
development policies and targets of the urban transport master plan will be proposed for 1)
road network, 2) public transport system, 3) cargo transportation, 4) intermodal facilities,
and 5) traffic management.
3.6.3 Network Alternatives
To formulate the future transport network (road network and public transport network),
network alternatives will be prepared based on the development policies and the review
works.
(1) Road Network
The adequate road classification will be identified for each proposed road based on the
future land use plan.
(2) Public Transport Network
For new mass transit system, the proper system will be selected through a multi-criteria
analysis. Traffic demand, geographic conditions, cost, social impact, and environment will
be the criteria.

3.7 Urban Transport Master Plan

3.7.1 Project Identification


Necessary projects for the development guideline will be identified and the project list will
be prepared. Project list will include arterial roads, intersections, mass transit system,
inter-modal facilities, and traffic management. Road projects will include those listed in
KSDP 2020.
The projects will be categorized into short (-2020), mid (-2025), and long-term (-2030)
based on traffic demand and project scale. In this study, a short-term project means that the
project will start within the short-term period and does not necessarily mean that the project
will be completed in the short-term period.
3.7.2 Preliminary Cost Estimates
For road project, unit project costs per kilometer will be estimated based on the existing and
past road project in Karachi. For mass transit project, unit cost of civil work will be
prepared based on the study of Karachi Circular Railway. The cost for rolling stock and
railway system will be estimated based on the world examples.
3.7.3 Project Prioritization
The impact of the identified projects will be estimated by demand forecast in terms of traffic
volume. Several indices for the project prioritization will be examined and the projects will
be evaluated according to the indices.
3.7.4 Implementation Plan of Short-Term Project
The necessary actions to implement the proposed short-term projects will be identified and
the schedule will be prepared in a Gantt chart format.

will be examined, including public private partnership scheme.
(2) Proper Project Scale of the Feasibility Study
A realistic financial scale for the project of the upcoming feasibility study will estimated.
(3) Proposal of the Optimal Fare System
The fare system that maximizes the revenue for the business operator will be studied while
considering the forecast of the income level in the future. Moreover, the common fare
system among several routes will be also studied.
3.8.2 Legal and Institutional Framework for Mass Transit Development
(1) Proposal of institutional and legal framework for project implementation
Considering the financial support by JICA or other international financial agencies, the
implementation body is required high capability in the field of financial aspect, resettlement
issues, and technical matters of mass transit system. Karachi Mass Transit Cell, CDGK
(KMTC) is supposed to be the implementation body for the development of mass transit
system in Karachi so far. On the other hand, Karachi Urban Transport Corporation (KUTC)
was established as the implementation body for KCR project. Since the integration of urban
transport system is the key issue for the successful implementation of mass transit system,
the best formulation of the implementation body will be proposed through an alternative
analysis.
(2) Proposal of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) scheme
Table below shows the type of operation and maintenance scheme in recent world
experiences. Pros and cons of these types will be analyzed and intensive discussion with the
counterpart will be held to propose the adequate operation and maintenance scheme for
mass transit system in Karachi.

3.9 Priority Mass Transit Project

3.9.1 Selection of Priority Mass Transit Project


Priority mass transit projects will be selected among the short-term projects to decide as the
candidate projects for the feasibility study. Since the number of short-term mass transit
projects is expected to be small, due to a large amount of the project cost, all of them would
be selected as priority mass transit project. However, if it is clear that a project will be
financed by international agency other than JICA or domestic sources, such a project will be
excluded from priority mass transit projects.
3.9.2 Economic and Financial Evaluation
(1) Economic Analysis
Reduction of travel time and Reduction of vehicle operating cost will be calculated as
the economic benefit. The evaluation period of time will be determined after the survey. It
will be judged whether to include KCR in without case while seeing the progress of KCR
project.

and Management Organization

4.8.1 Clarification of Implementation, Operation, Maintenance and Management


Organization
When determining the project implementing body, it is necessary to build a consensus
among stake holders such as KMTC, KUTC, National Railway of Pakistan, Sindh province
and the central government.

28
Karachi Transportation Improvement Project

An organization and a manpower schedule necessary to establish railway businesses will be


proposed based on the past examples in other countries.
4.8.2 Support for Legal and Institutional System Frameworks
The parties necessary to get involved in revising the legal system will be identified and the
schedule for the revision will be proposed
4.8.3 Establishment of Capacity Development plan
A capacity development plan will be formulated.
The implementation body should be formulated before the project appraisal, while the
operating organization should be formulated two or three years prior to the operation.
The capacity development plan will include the minimum requirements of personnel in each
sector of the organizations, and the education program before the opening of the mass
transit system.
It is expected that the new office staff will consist of those transferred from national railway
or existing public transport authorities. The capacity improvement plan will be made and
proposed so that their capability will be improved well enough by the time of operation,
though capability may vary widely when they are employed.

4.9 Preparation of Finance Plan

4.9.1 Proposal of Fund Procurement Plans


It is essential for the project to get subsidy from the government due to the enormous
amount of initial investment.
A realistic fund procurement plan will be suggested with adequate consideration to
Pakistans financial situation.
4.9.2 Estimates of Costs for Operation, Maintenance and Management
The payroll cost will be estimated based on the manpower schedule described in 4-8-1.
Subsequently, maintenance and management cost will be estimated based on the basic unit
of maintenance and management cost by reference of examples from other countries.
4.9.3 Cash flow analysis
Organize the initial investment amount, maintenance and management cost and revenue,
and estimate annual maintenance and management cost, along with preparation of cash
flow.
4.10 Preparation of Project Implementation plan

4.10.1 Preparation of Project Implementation Plan


A project implementation plan will be prepared.
4.10.2 Preparation of PC-1
PC-1 will be prepared based on the project implementation plan described in 4-10-1, in
accordance with the form of Planning Commission, Government of Pakistan.
