August 13, 2020
PESHAWAR (92 News) - Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan shared that he had his reservations over the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project but former KP chief minister Pervez Khattak proved everyone wrong. While addressing to Peshawar BRT inauguration ceremony on Thursday, the prime minister termed this project as the best one in Pakistan."This is the highest level metro project of the country. At least 128 buses will run on the 27-kilometre track and stop at 30 stations," he remarked. "The project will help solve all of Peshawar's traffic woes. There is one main artery in Peshawar that runs from GT Road to Torkham, he maintained. "People used to be stuck in traffic for hours and this will definitely benefit the commuters," he added. "Just its main track is 27-kilometre long, it has an additional 60 kilometre of feeder routes. The project will connect the whole of Peshawar. It is a modern transport system for Peshawar," Imran Khan explained. The premier even shared that he had his reservations over the project, adding that former KP CM has proven everyone wrong. "It is important for us that the projects we work on help the ordinary people. This project will help the daily wagers and students. The ticket price has been set at minimal rates," he added.
