Senior Pakistani actor Sania Saeed has stated that transport infrastructure projects alone are insufficient to address Karachi's urban challenges, emphasizing that job creation is the real solution to the city's problems.
Speaking during a press interaction in Karachi, she highlighted the multiple difficulties the city faces and argued that development should not be limited to transportation initiatives.
She questioned the effectiveness of major transit systems, noting that without employment opportunities, such facilities serve little purpose for ordinary citizens. "If I don't have a job, where will I go even if I can travel on a Green Line bus?" she remarked, pointing to the need for economic inclusion.
Saeed stressed that the true challenge lies in integrating people into the economy by creating sustainable job opportunities, particularly for young people. She said that without employment, transport projects alone cannot bring meaningful change. She further noted that Karachi's rapid population growth demands a comprehensive strategy focused on employment, economic development, and urban planning.
