Peshawar, The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced an investment of PKR 1 billion into the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service in Peshawar to maintain its operations, a decision that has been welcomed by commuters and officials alike.

According to Zameen.com on November 4, the KP government’s funding allocation is specifically directed to cover the operational costs of the BRT from November 2023 to February 2024.
