Karachi is linked by rail to the rest of the country by Pakistan Railways. The Karachi City Station and Karachi Cantonment Station are the city's two major railway stations. The railway system handles a large amount of freight to and from the Karachi port apart from providing passenger services to people travelling up country.
Plans are underway to extend the intra-city railway system to play a part in the city's mass transit through Karachi Circular Railway system. Feasibility studies have been carried out and a provisional network has been agreed on. My proposal for the working title is "Karachi Duz" or simply "Duz" (Urdu دوز), a contraction of the Urdu for "Underground Railway" (Urdu زمین دوز گاری).
