Lahore Transport Company (LTC) is a public transit bus system established for the carrying of urban passengers in Lahore, in Punjab, Pakistan.[1]
It operates a bus rapid transit system in Lahore. However, the BRTs do not have dedicated lanes and right of privilege.
History
LTC was established under the Companies Ordinance of 1984, with intention of merging several transport companies operating in Lahore together under one company. In December 2001 LTC successfully merged the various transport companies of Lahore, with the aim to develop high quality, safe, efficient, environment friendly and affordable urban transport to Lahore city residents.[2]
Since December 2009, LTC has taken over the infrastructure and regulation responsibilities from the DRTA. LTC identified various inefficiencies in the existing routes and their alignments as they existed. Re-alignment for better management and efficiency has required an extensive survey transport study of Lahore. International consultants GTZ were selected by the Government of Punjab and completed its study in 2011.
