History[]
Originally named the Orange Line, construction began on June 11, 2016 and is the smallest of the five line's spreading over 4 km with only four stations.[5] The line will have the capacity to carry up to 50,000 passengers daily with a station after every kilometer. The line begins from AO Chowk Station on the Green Line and extends to TMO Office in Orangi.[6][7] On December 14, 2016, the Government of Sindh renamed the Orange Line after the late philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, in recognition of his services to the poor.
