W-11

                    A Very Welknown Transport Carrier In Karachi (Pakistan), Known As W-11.
Fully Decorated Masterpiece. Vehicles of transport have long been celebrated in Pakistan, adorned with elaborate decoration to keep good spirits with the journey. A fleet of particularly vibrant mini-buses ply the Karachi route called W-11, characterised by stainless-steel panels, brightly coloured plastic collages, flashing light patterns, music beats and exuberant conductors.


 Karachi had a horse-drawn tram system till the 1930s, then a petrol-fuelled system until the 1970s. Could there be a W-11 tram, a vehicle travelling from Karachi to Melbourne? How would these Karachi vehicle decorators invoke the spirit of this transport?

A team of W-11 vehicle decorators from Karachi undertake a residency in Melbourne in 2006 to transform a tram that will run a free service on the Melbourne City Circle tram route during the Commonwealth Games 2006.

Here Are Some Pictures Of W-11 Tram
