KARACHI: Pakistani actor Yasir Hussain and model Amna Ilyas took their disappointment to social media after a recent report by Bloomberg declared the port city's transportation the worst in the world.

Taking a sarcastic approach, Hussain congratulated the authorities for adding another "feather to the cap" as the city already grapples with tons of infrastructural pitfalls.

Meanwhile, Ilyas shared the article on her Instagram story, stressing how the news left her despondent.
The Bloomberg report underscores the poor state of the port city and underlines the factors behind its deteriorating infrastructure.
