Lahore is a beautiful historical city of Pakistan which is known for its gardens, mosques, and delicious food around the world. The second most populous city of Pakistan, Lahore is a provincial capital of Punjab province. Lahore always takes lead in commencing and holding big projects and Lahore orange train is one of them.
Lahoris are all set to enjoy the ride of the world's modern and best transport service Orange train, from 25th October 2020 after Lahore metro buses.
Why Lahore orange train color is orange? It is a same color and quality that the Chinese company CCRC made trains for China. Orange color also shows the friendship and bonding of two nations. Lahore metro train is a part of the China Pakistan CPEC project and is financed by both China and Pakistan.
The project was started back in 2014 when Shahbaz Shareef was Chief Minister here. The project was taken they new PTI government and continued with pace till it's compelition in October 2020.
After multiple dates, orange train is on routes now from Dera Gurjan to Ali town, Lahore.
Like big and developed cities of Europe, America and China, now the Pakistani people will also travel on safer and rapid transport in their country. The orange metro train track is 27.1 km long with more than 26 modern metro stations.
Metro orange train is elevated at most of the tracks about 25.1 km and 1.7 km track is underground.
The most adorable and fascinating part the of Lahore orange metro transit's route is passing by historical places of Mughal era and food streets.
Here I took these photos of the Lahore orange train from the gates of Shalimar garden. Shalimar station is one elevated station as 24 metro stations out of 26 stations are elevated and constructed on modern designs.
Soon I hope to take photos of Shalimar gardens while traveling in Lahore orange train.
Shalimar garden is a world heritage that was built in 17 th century by Mughal king Shah Jahan.
Asides Shalimar gardens and Chuburji (another historical feast), the Lahore metro train will take you to British rule memories at GPO, Pakistan mint and Anarkali market stations.
Best food place Lakshami chowk is also a part of the best travel in Lahore metro.
Yes, you can stop here to enjoy one of the world's delicious cuisine with traditional Lahore hospitality.
Anarkali metro train station is most amazing station which is both underground and leveled to give you a chance of handful of shopping from oldest market of city.
The travelers of Lahore orange train will be able to tour the best sites of this historical city is a bonus point ofthe route.
Lahore orange train consists of 5 wagons with 4 doors which are exported from China. It's rapid transit transport which will move without a driver.
