The core problem of the continuing failure of Pakistani cities to develop and manage their public transport systems in such a way as to provide a high level of mobility, equity, and environmental sustainability. For at least 60 years, public transport policy makers have formulated many different policies for public transport development in Pakistan. These policies make little sense in the presence of an extensive suburban railways infrastructure and high density mixed land use in urban areas.

Over the past ten years, road traffic, both passenger and freight, has grown much faster than the country's economic growth. The 9518 km long National Highway and Motorway network contributes 3.7% of total road network and carries 90% of Pakistan's total traffic. II.
