Peshawar: The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is expected to meet its deadline date, as 85% of the construction work has been completed – a news source reported.
According to reports, labour work will be finished on all three BRT routes by March. Buses will start operating from April. The Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) plans to inaugurate the project on March 23.
The BRT will have eight stations in total. These will host a commercial area, restaurants, and a parking space for passengers. Four of the eight stations will be constructed underground. At least 10 mechanical doors, equipped with sensory technology to scan barcodes, were recently installed at the station.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government previously revised the cost from PKR 49 billion to PKR 69 billion due to frequent design changes. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is funding the project.
