The never-ending roads of the megacity Karachi are a maze for Karachiites. As the provincial metropolis is anything but a planned city, its major public transport includes mini-vans, rickshaws and a few leftover taxies. The roads are too crowded and mostly suffer from bumper-to-bumper traffic coming from all directions and winding up creating chaos.
The decision to ban Qingqi rickshaws was taken to bring peace to our roads and for a while it had been a great help. But no proper alternative has since been made to help those who used to travel on Qingqis. They are now seen walking miles to reach their homes. How will these never-ending roads find their destination?
