Karachi is not only the biggest city of Pakistan but also its financial backbone.
Despite that we are facing a serious traffic problem in the city of over 14 million people, who cannot travel easily.
In addition, there are a number of car showrooms in the city. Owners of these showrooms are used to park their vehicles on foothpaths outside their outlets, causing severe hardships for padestrians.
This practice also causes traffic congestion on the roads.
On the other hand, restaurants in the city have also failed to reserve a parking lot for their customers. As a result, their customers are used to park their vehicles on adjacent roads,which also contributes to traffic problems in the metropolis.
Another problem is corrupt police and traffic mafia and increasing number of vehicles. One more problem which should be highlighted here is the reckless driving of bus drivers.Bus drivers usually drive very fast which causes accidents.
They stop their buses anywhere without any stop to pick up passengers which creates problems for the vehicles coming from behind.
The government should seriously look into the city’s traffic problem. It should build more and more flyovers at the busy roads to overcome the problem.
