He even came up with a solution on how to control the traffic problem in Karachi. In a tweet, he talked about his visit to Karachi's city station and suggested that functional railway systems can help reduce traffic on highways.
.#کراچی سٹی سٹیشن میں چہل قدمی کی اور ریلوے کے ملازمین سے بات چیت کی.اچھی حالت کی ٹرینیں اور زبردست ریلوے کا نظام #پاکستان کے 210ملین لوگوں کے لئے اہم ہیں. جتنی زیادہ سامان اور لوگوں کی آمدورفت ٹرین کے ذریعے ہوگی، ہائیوے پر رش کم ہوگا. ماحول کے لیے بھی مفید ہے! pic.twitter.com/i4S7zDpbTQ
