Pakistan Railways systems soon to be computerised
2006-05-31
"Lessee here, carry the 2, multiply by the hypotenuse...by the Profit's beard this is making me edgy. "
Federal Minister for Information Technology (IT), Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari, said that the ministry was planning to computerise Pakistan Railways (PR) ticketing and information sectors and provide online services to corporate customers and passengers.

Awais said in a meeting with Minister Shaikh Rashid Ahmed that the IT ministry had agreed to bear the cost of automation of various processes within Pakistan Railways and introduce a paperless environment in Pakistan's biggest public sector organisation. He said that they were in the process of finalising a project that would allow people to buy tickets on the Internet and keep track of their cargo consignments. The minister said that the project would come into effect by January 2007. There would be an electronic office online that would entirely replace the traditional mode of ticketing.

Why? So they'll know the exact GPS coordinates where the train was blown off the tracks by the islamonutjobs?

#6  Computerized railway? No problemo. Can't be any harder than baggage handling at the Denver Airport. Maybe the Pakis could get the guys that built that system to help out.
