Islamabad – In a historic move for the country’s transport sector, Pakistan has unveiled plans to launch its first-ever bullet train service by 2030, promising to cut travel time between Lahore and Karachi to just five hours.
According to officials, the high-speed rail project will be developed with international collaboration and advanced technology, making it one of the most ambitious infrastructure undertakings in Pakistan’s history. The proposed bullet train will operate at speeds exceeding 300 km/h, offering safe, efficient, and modern travel for millions of passengers annually.
Authorities say feasibility studies are underway, with special emphasis on funding, routes, and land acquisition. The project is expected to boost economic activity, create jobs, and significantly improve connectivity between the country’s two largest cities.
Experts believe that if implemented successfully, the initiative could transform Pakistan’s railway system and place the country alongside nations operating world-class high-speed trains.
