Lahore Orange Line Metro — Commuter Safety & How to Protect Your Belongings

The Orange Line — Lahore's Metro System

The Orange Line Metro Train covers 27.1 km with 26 stations, connecting Ali Town in the south to Dera Gujjran in the northeast. It carries hundreds of thousands of passengers daily and is far safer and more organized than Lahore's road transport — but it has its own safety considerations.

All 26 Orange Line Stations

• Ali Town → Chungi Amar Sidhu → Saggian → Bund Road → Shalimar Gardens → Samanabad → Qila Gujjar Singh → Badami Bagh → Lahore Railway Station → Lakshmi Chowk → GPO Chowk → Old Anarkali → Chauburji → Masjid Shah Chiragh → Maclagan Road → Ichra → Firdous Market → Gulshan-e-Ravi → Thokar Niaz Baig → YMCA → Muslim Town → Qainchi → Nishtar Hospital → Ali Town Terminal

Peak Hours and Risk Assessment

The highest-risk periods for lost items and pickpocketing on the Orange Line are:

• 7 AM–9 AM (morning rush): Train carriages are extremely packed. Pickpocketing risk highest.
• 5 PM–7 PM (evening rush): Similar density. Many commuters distracted with phones.
• After Friday prayers: Sudden surge at Lahore Railway Station and Badami Bagh stops.

Most Commonly Lost Items on the Orange Line

• Phones left on seats (most common — commuters doze off, get up in a hurry at their stop)
• Wallets falling from back pockets in standing-room-only carriages
• Earbuds / AirPods cases left in seat pockets
• Shopping bags left on floor near doors
• Glasses and reading glasses on seats
