Karachi: The Red Line BRT is being managed by Trans Karachi, a registered business that will carry out the project, while the Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA) will solely serve as a regulator. This was one of the criteria imposed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the project’s primary financier.
