The train will arrive in 5 minutes. Looking into the distance from the platform of Lahore University of Engineering and Technology Station on the Orange Line subway, a light and shadow of red, white, and orange is getting closer and closer, and the train body is particularly dazzling in the sunlight. In September 2024, the total passenger flow of the Orange Line subway in Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan, exceeded 200 million.

The unveiling ceremony of the Orange Line subway carrying 200 million passengers was held this week at the Orange Line subway station in Analkali. Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Jiang Zaidong stated at the ceremony that the Orange Line subway is not only a major landmark project, but also an important livelihood project. With the collaborative efforts of the China Pakistan operation and maintenance team, over 2000 job opportunities have been created for the local area. We believe that the operation of the Orange Line subway will continue to improve.

The Orange Line subway is the first subway in Pakistan, constructed by Chinese enterprises, with a total length of 27 kilometers and 26 stations. It was officially opened for operation in October 2020 and is one of the early harvest projects of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The subway ticket prices are very cheap and there is no economic burden. The carriages are very comfortable, just like the Chinese subway. I often take the Orange Line subway and thank China for bringing advanced technology to Pakistan. "Local passengers told Xinhua News Agency reporters about their perception of the Orange Line subway.

I take the Orange Line subway every day now, and the station and carriage environment are comfortable and safe. The trains are very punctual, "said Aurangzeb Khan, a student at Lahore University of Engineering and Technology, to reporters. He used to take a private car to school every day, which was expensive. The opening of the Orange Line subway provides convenient travel for students, staff, businessmen, and others. Keywords: the Belt and Road news, the Belt and Road project, overseas project.

Office worker Adnan also shares the same feeling. He said that after the opening of the Orange Line subway, people from all walks of life came to take it, which greatly changed the way people travel. Compared to other modes of transportation, the Orange Line subway has higher safety and comfort, especially popular among people with disabilities, the elderly, and other groups.
