Traffic police are reportedly nowhere to be seen, making the commute more difficult for many.

Stupid IDEA Stupid Police don't know how to route traffic, unprofessional/uneducated police.....
Forget that, expo is being held at expo centre but our 'youthful and efficient and brave' chief minister decided to container-block the road in front of his gate. Of course, two other things happened, no police were deputed to handle the traffic on sheikh zayed road; and our enlightened awaam took hardly any time in creating a traffic jam by going the wrong way. Its honestly not about DIG traffic; jaisee awaam, wesay tullay, wesay hukumraan.
Success story of a phenomenal nation: China....... "kingdom of cyclists!" Bicycle was the main means of transportation in China!
The above photo is the chaotic soul image of metropolitan Pakistan.
The picture says it all, and I hope these proposed projects will solve the traffic issues for good.

The reason for chaotic traffic jams in Karachi is because of incompetent traffic police.
Whatever the government does is always more important than what you, the general public, do. Always remember that. The most important thing that you can do is stand aside and clasp your hands in front of you and bow your head in reverence, whenever you see a government functionary on the road. This is the sole purpose you were born for, the sole purpose for your existence in this country.
Move these kinda stuff out side city metropoles. no one will be getting affected. Do whatsoever is much much more important than providing basic necessities to unprivileged people.
Any "ideas" for traffic please.
I hope the loss of man hours per day in Karachi is accounted for in costing... was it??
DIG Traffic is making his numbers in escorting the VIP's and foreign delegates but he is least interested to provide relief to commuters by deputung traffic police constables to guide or divert vehicles on the blocked roads.
The Traffic Police deputed and posted in Karachi including DIG Traffic are paid monthly salaries by the tax payers of Karachi and not by the VIP's or any one else.
No one living at from Hassan Square has access to go to Liaquat National or Agha Khan Hospital in case of emergency.
People talk about democracy but the fact is that we all live in dictatorial rule.
Great IDEA!!
