VVIP movement created traffic jams on II Chundrigar Road and Shahra-e-Faisal. Adnan Ali

A picture speaks a 1000 words.
Traffic
fog/pollution?
driving ethics
nicely designed ufone hoarding
lack of control over “maximum/minimum height of the buildings in a particular area/street/vicinity
mobilink (0300) being the most popular network used by “Advertisers” (:D),
Wow..

Moral of the story: nothing really, just a good picture. Thought Id share.

    That’s a great picture – should easily convey the message back home that VVIP movement does has its own repercussion resulting in loss of millions if not more

    Moral of the story: mostly Mush’s movements are kept secret until the last minute but by chance if you get a clue that he would land in karachi then stay away from VIP routes coz dictator just loves to make our lives miserable… and if you can afford to take a day off then do that…

    This picture says:

    Its about time this city got Mass Transit.

    i heard that a raise ‘light rail’ system is almost about to get installed there… the last few details are being ironed out..

    maybe thats why they’re closing down SF for 8 months?

    anyway, mass transit system is sorely needed


  14. d0ct0r (unregistered) on December 8th, 2006 @ 6:51 pm

    SF closed for 8 months? that sounds like dooms day… like all these closures for underpasses weren’t enough…


  15. d0ct0r (unregistered) on December 8th, 2006 @ 6:54 pm

    mass transit project has been on papers for last few decades, its still in limbo unless they physically start working on it …
