BRT Service Suspended | Breaking | Dunya News

After the financial troubles of the Sehat Card, another flagship Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) project — the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is facing similar funding concerns, which will come as a blow to the hundreds of thousands of passengers that use the service daily.

More than 300,000 passengers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (K-P) capital use the BRT daily to get around the city, and if the requisite operational costs of the BRT are not paid by the incumbent caretaker government, the popular public bus service runs the risk of closing down.

The BRT authorities in a letter penned to the caretaker cabinet of the province have demanded that the government should pay three months of operational costs worth Rs 450 million immediately, otherwise the service would be shut down for the foreseeable future. The letter, a copy of which is available with The Express Tribune, further states that as per the agreement with Trans Peshawar, the Governor of K-P is bound to release payment against monthly invoice within 10 days of each month but the Governor has not done so for February, March, and April. Furthermore, the authorities have met with several K-P government officials in this regard but the government has seemingly not budged, as per the letter.
