The Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) Project 1
1-Introduction
The Lahore, Pakistan Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) Project is a mass transit initiative aimed at
providing residents with a modern, efficient, and dependable transportation system. The project has
been under development since 2015 and is anticipated to be finished shortly. It will feature a 27.1 km
elevated railway track connecting various areas of Lahore, including commercial and residential
districts. The OLMT is among Pakistan's largest infrastructure projects, costing over PKR 200
billion, funded by the government and international development partners such as the Asian
Development Bank and the Chinese government.
The OLMT project has faced multiple delays due to legal challenges and land acquisition issues, but
it is now nearing completion. Once operational, the project will provide a much-needed boost to
Lahore's public transportation system. The project is expected to create numerous job opportunities,
decrease traffic congestion, and improve air quality in the city. It will also aid in boosting the local
economy and promoting tourism in Lahore.

The Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) Project in Lahore, Pakistan is an ambitious project that has
been undertaken by the Government of Punjab in collaboration with China Railway Construction
Corporation. The project aims to provide a much-needed transportation system for the city of Lahore
and its surrounding areas. The total cost of the project is estimated to be around Rs. 165 billion and it
is expected to generate revenue of Rs. 1 billion per month when it becomes operational in 2021. The
project is expected to create thousands of jobs, reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in
the city. It will also provide a much-needed boost to the local economy and help promote tourism in
Lahore.
The revenue generated by the OLMT project is expected to have a significant impact on the local
economy. During the construction phase, the project is expected to create thousands of jobs and

provide employment opportunities for local residents. Furthermore, the improved connectivity and
transportation infrastructure provided by the OLMT project will boost economic activity and
facilitate business growth in Lahore.
The OLMT project was initiated with a signed memorandum of understanding between the
governments of Pakistan and China in May 2014. Financing for the project was secured in December
2015 when China's Exim Bank agreed to provide a soft loan of $1.55 billion for the project. The total
cost of the 27-kilometre metro train is expected to be 22.51 billion Rupees, with 48% of the funds
coming from the Federal Government of Pakistan and the remaining 52% financed through soft loans
from the Chinese government.
The OLMT project is a crucial infrastructure initiative that will revolutionize Lahore's transportation
system and provide significant economic benefits to the local community. Despite facing challenges,
the project is now in its final stages of completion and is expected to be operational soon.

3.4-Stakeholder Engagement
The OLMT Project involves multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, private sector
partners, local communities, and commuters. Effective stakeholder engagement is crucial for gaining
support for the project and addressing any concerns or issues that arise.
3.5-Operational Planning
The OLMT Project requires detailed operational planning, including developing schedules, ticketing
systems, and maintenance plans. The project team needs to ensure that the system runs smoothly and
efficiently once it is operational.
Overall, the successful implementation of the Orange Line Metro Train Project in Lahore, Pakistan
requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the project's technical, financial, and social
requirements.

5-Dependencies
The Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) Project in Lahore, Pakistan was a major infrastructure project
that aimed to improve the city's transportation system by constructing a rapid transit system. The
construction process of the project can be broadly divided into the following phases:
5.1-Phase 1: Planning and Feasibility Study
The initial planning and feasibility study for the OLMT project started in 2012, and was conducted
by the Punjab Mass Transit Authority (PMTA).The feasibility study involved a detailed analysis of
the transportation needs of the city, as well as the technical, financial, and environmental aspects of
the project. The study also included a comprehensive survey of the proposed route for the OLMT,
which would cover a distance of 27.1 kilometers from Dera Gujran to Ali Town.
5.2-Phase 2: Design and Engineering
Once the feasibility study was completed, the design and engineering phase of the project began in
2014.The project team, which included local and international experts, designed the track, stations,
rolling stock, and other infrastructure for the OLMT. The design phase also involved extensive
consultations with stakeholders, including local communities, government agencies, and private
sector organizations.
5.3-Phase 3: Construction
The construction of the OLMT project officially started on October 27, 2015, with a groundbreaking
ceremony attended by the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif. The construction was
divided into three packages, each awarded to a different contractor.
• Package 1, which involved the construction of the depot and stabling yard, was awarded to
Habib Construction Services (HCS).
• Package 2, which included the construction of the elevated viaduct and 11 stations, was
awarded to the China State Railway Group Company (CSRG).
• Package 3, which involved the provision of rolling stock, was awarded to the China North
Industries Corporation (NORINCO).
The construction phase faced various challenges, including protests from local communities and
legal challenges in the Lahore High Court.
5.4-Phase 4: Testing and Commissioning
After the completion of construction in 2020, the OLMT project entered the testing and
commissioning phase. This involved testing the trains, track, stations, and other infrastructure for
safety and reliability. The testing phase lasted for several months, with the trains running on a trial
basis on the entire route. The OLMT project was officially inaugurated by the Prime Minister of
Pakistan, Imran Khan, on October 25, 2021. Overall, the construction process of the Orange Line
Metro Train project in Lahore, Pakistan, was a complex and challenging undertaking, but one that
has significantly improved the transportation system in the city.

7-Emergent Behavior
Emergent behavior refers to the spontaneous and unpredictable behavior that arises from the
interaction of individual components within a system. Another way to incorporate emergent behavior
into the OLMT project could be to implement a feedback loop that allows the system to learn and
adapt over time. For instance, data from passenger feedback, maintenance reports, and train

performance metrics could be analyzed to identify patterns and areas for improvement. This
information could then be used to adjust the system, such as optimizing routes or improving train
design, leading to improved overall performance and efficiency.
Furthermore, the OLMT project could be designed to encourage collaboration and cooperation
among its users, such as by implementing a rewards program for passengers who exhibit courteous
behavior, or by creating opportunities for riders to provide feedback and suggestions for
improvement. Overall, incorporating emergent behavior into the OLMT project could lead to a more
adaptive, efficient, and collaborative transportation system that better serves the needs of the people
of Lahore.
