The Business Express will run between Lahore and Karachi cities. It is the first non-stop train to run between the provinces of Punjab and Sindh. The train successfully completed its trial run on Jan. 26.
Thirteen carriages have been restored into a sleek sleeper to ply the 1,200 kilometres (800 miles) between Pakistan's two biggest cities, Lahore and Karachi, on an 18-hour journey that once used to take upwards of 30 hours.
One way tickets will cost 5,000 rupees ($55) and 9,000 rupees for return. Special platforms have been made for this train and the travel will be done with complete security. Pakistan Railways and Four Brothers International Pvt Ltd, a Karachi-based investor, will jointly operate it.
