LET'S HAVE A COMPARISION BETWEEN PAKISTAN'S AND BRITAIN'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

When comparing the two countries' transportation infrastructure, It is clear that Britain's is much stronger than Pakistan's. 

When it’s come to the third-strongest transportation system in the world, The UK contains the largest train network, underground rail and metro networks, high-speed train services offered by Eurostar, comfortable buses and coaches, and affordable aircraft. In less than two hours, It does not just connect towns and cities throughout the nation, but also continents. The best thing is that cycling is fairly common in the UK and is a great way to travel within a town or city, save money, and stay in shape. In Pakistan, however, land transportation mainly comprises train and road transportation. The Ministry of Railways in Pakistan is in charge of overseeing the provision of rail services. It carries out extensive freight and human movement. Yellow taxis, whose fares are negotiable and are most frequently seen at hotels and airports, are another widely used mode of transportation. In practically all of Pakistan, auto rickshaws and the Qing-Qi, a vehicle that combines an auto rickshaw with a motorcycle, are prominent. Another mode of transportation in Pakistan is the motorcycle. It is thought to be the quickest method of accessing locations that are inaccessible to cars. There are 151 airports in Pakistan. Additionally, Pakistan has 18 heliports. Pakistan's waterway system is nascent, with Karachi being the only significant city located near the Arabian Sea.

Although the roads in the UK are relatively good, they could be narrow and crowded in urban areas. However, everything is handled so well because of the administration's policies for improving transportation. Numerous safety precautions improve the situation. like, the UK punishes for driving under the influence of even minor amounts of alcohol or drugs. Using a hand-held cell phone or a comparable device while operating a motor vehicle is also prohibited. On highways and motorways, the top speed restriction is 70 mph. Additionally, the educated gentry benefits the system. On the other hand, there are numerous risks associated with travel in Pakistan. The number of cars on the roads is high, many huge trucks and buses are poorly maintained, and drivers are usually aggressive and uneducated. In some places, roadside hazards can include camels, cattle, horse carts, and donkeys. Roads, including most major highways, also suffer from poor maintenance and often have numerous potholes, sharp drop-offs, and barriers that are not sign-posted. When driving at night, drivers should drive very carefully because many cars lack sufficient lighting or dimmers, and most roads are not properly lit or signposted. It is not advised to drive without knowledgeable local drivers or guides. The management is also unsatisfactory.

Where, according to a new analysis from the U.K. government innovation agency, In the next nine years, we will see futuristic air taxis that have been the stuff of science fiction, "revolutionary new aircrafts".   Pakistan is only thinking about how to cut back on its use of fuel since the cost of petrol is so high. To solve this issue, they propose to implement electronic technology-driven transportation, although no headway has been made in this planning as of yet.

In my opinion, the immediate actions that management should consider include the Elimination of ching-chee, an auto-rickshaw, from the transportation network. fewer and more well-placed stops on the street should be set up. Enhancement of vehicle designs should be in top priority Controlling public transportation operations; enhancing planning for public transportation, and giving customers reliable information is crucial equally. Cutting down on wait times at traffic lights would please customers and saves money. Providing designated lanes for public transportation, managing traffic through rules and traffic engineering, and using creative solutions to lessen the effects of traffic on public transportation are necessary. Introduction to the public bicycle systems and arrangement for the Cycling lanes will contribute a lot. parking management and pricing options go side by side with every measure.
