Peshawar: Development work on 31 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations has entered its final stages, reported a news source. The project, set for inauguration in February, will benefit 4 million people on a daily basis.
The process to transfer 220 modern buses to Peshawar in various phases will also begin soon. Meanwhile, rehabilitation work on roads affected by BRT has also started. This comes in addition to the work being done to connect various service roads with the GT Road.
