Urban mobility paradigm Out of the umpteen factors that can stimulate economic growth, an efficient transport system seems to be a significant one, even more so for developing countries like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Pakistan, with its population of almost 220 million, continues to see a rising demand for public infrastructure. Major metropolitan cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Rawalpindi continue to grow at a rapid pace. This growth incites the need for a well-regulated transport system. Unfortunately, the public remains unsatisfied despite a multitude of short-term and long-term transport projects to meet this ever-growing demand. Not only is the current transportation system of Pakistan unaffordable to the common man, but it is poorly designed as well as unsafe. Despite the less than satisfactory infrastructure, there do exist multiple modes of transportation available in Pakistan: roads, railway and air travel.
