I was part of group who learnt mass transit has finally come their city and wanted to get on it. Although, I had been on #greenline before but went again, because why not? It's comfortable and convenient. Didn't think I'd ever use these two words for Karachi's public transport. 
Watch @gulraizkhan's thread on what it was like, I just want to share my thoughts on how I felt to be on it.
I got on with a bag on my shoulder and I was surprised nobody asked me to take it off and give it to someone who's seated because my bag is eating up one person's space.

This, if you had ever travelled on a bus in Karachi, is a common practice. They want to squeeze every last person into the bus.
Then, I was getting down from terminal to platform and I could see the bus, but I didn't run to catch it. I knew the next one will come in just 5 min.

Ric McIver starts by introducing the project. He emphasizes that "this is the city's project"
"It's not our project, it's the city's project"
he repeats.

Question: why has the project been delayed?
McIver: The delays are the city's fault.

Hey @CITYofCALGARY - its time to slow down & reassess the #GreenLine - for many reasons:
1) timing - not now - not during COVID, not post the collapse of oil prices - lets wait 5 to 10 years.
2) costs - are exploding - the cost per mile ESTIMATE - has more than doubled!! DELAY!

3) Ridership forecasts are just a guess - given COVID & ENERGY - there isn't a hope your forecasts are close to accurate - you can't rely on them - you can't. #DELAY
4) Your boffins (paid public servants and councillor assistants) are plugging social media with misleading job

forecasts - they keep saying 20,000 jobs - we all know that isn't permanent - some might be for a week - its a lie to plug that number - you all know better. #JustDelay
5) Planning is a fail - you announced the routing - but didn't realize you had to be 7 stories below downtown
