Pak business express train..
1.Start your service from karachi City Station
2.Business class should have its own personal bathroom for every cabin.. for privacy reasons..
3. Import more new coaches from china
4.Make your route from Karachi to Rawalpindi...
5. Bahalwalpur should be one of your junction..
Then only you can claim that you are better than PIA..
Thankyou..
and yet your service is excellent.. i've travelled in it from karachi to lahore and vice versa..
Do reply @ (shah_khan@hotmail.com)
First of all i want to congratulate you i.e Four Brothers (Pvt.) ltd.
I've been traveling in trains since 35 years of my life and i found it as the best train in Pakistan till now as compare to India"s Rajdhani Express as well and Sammi daewoo Express
In business class coach attached bathroom is necessary for family use.. i also suggest for you that your service should start from Karachi City Station instead of Cantt Station and last station should be Rawalpindi/Islamabad instead of Lahore.. i.e Karachi-Lahore-Rawalpindi to improve your business level from this route.. And i pray that your business grow up and your service should last long.. you have once again set up the trend of traveling in trains..
Thanks and best regards..
I was travel in Pak Business Express, this is my marvelous journey.
