Last night i was traveling back from my office (from DHA to FB Area) and i encountered severe traffic jam on 5 different spots!! Expressway to Awami Markaz, National Stadium, Hasan Square and Yasinabad... the actual disctance is somewhat 22kms which i managed to cover in 2 hours (1hr 58mins to be exact). Thanks to the day by day improving traffic conditions in Karachi! However im happy i made some interesting driving records! thought i should share this here
From the End of Korangi Expressway to Baloch Colony Flyover. Total distance is about 0.26kms, i covered this disctance in 15 mins
Just to get up on the flyover and come down again, it took 10 mins
On Shahra-e-Faisal (the fastest road in karachi city) took 10 mins to travel from Baloch Colony Flyover to Awami Markaz...
From the first traffic jam spot at Express way till my destination in FB Area (18-19kms approx) i never apply the 4th gear
From Expressway to Awami Markaz (almost 1.7kms) i never applied the 2nd gear
The total distance of 22kms was covered in 2 hours, hence the average speed turns out to be something close to 10kms/hour
i am quite sure i will manage to break this record in very near future
