مجموعی طور پر 29 کِلومیٹر پر پھیلا اور آٹھ روٹ پر مشتمل اس منصوبے کے لیے  48 ارب کا سرمایہ اِیشئن بنک نے مہیا کیا۔ صوبائی حکومت کی سرمایہ کاری صرف 7 ارب ہے۔ یہ اسلیئے واضع کرنا ضروری ہے کیونکہ میڈیا

تصویر کا ایک رُخ دِکھا کر عوام کو یہ بات بتانے سے کُترا جاتا ہے کہ پشاور میٹرو کا سرمایہ اور سُپرویژن ایشیائی ترقیاتی بنک کر رہا ہے۔، درجہ بددرجہ کام کی رفتار قسط وار رقم کی فراہمی سے متائثر ہوتی رہی ہے۔

ویسے بھی لاہور میٹرو اور پشاور میٹرو کا کوئی موازنہ بنتا نہیں۔ میڈیا جب ایسا کرتا ہے تو عوام کے ذہن میں یہ بات راسخ ہو جاتی ہے کہ چونکہ لاہور منصوبہ تمام کا تمام قومی خزانے سے جاری رقم سے بنا اور مکمل ہوتے ہوئے سات سال کا عرصہ لے گیا اسی طرح پشاور منصوبہ بھی حکومت پر ایک بوجھ بن چکا ہے جبکہ ایسا بلکل بھی نہیں ہے۔میڈیا کو چاہیے کہ عوام کے سامنے تصویر کے دونوں رُخ رکھا کرے تاکہ لوگ حقیقت سے روشناس ہو سکیں۔

Re: Bus Rapid Transit Project in Peshawar Begins

Seems to us we’ve been talking about this Peshawar Bus Transit project off and on for several years already. Let’s hope this time it will be a done deal.  And that the new CM KPK will manage it more successfully than his predecessor. As so often happens n Pakistan, a project is announced with due fanfare, is even launched perhaps and then goes into abeyance. Let’s hope this time we’ll really get the job done. We don’t want Pakistan to turn into a graveyard of things announced but never brought to completion.

In this video clip one can see the extent of completed work including Terminals, Routes and Stations.

Doors are both on the left and right sides of busses:

This is to clarify baseless and false claims being made on various social media outlets regarding doors of BRT Buses. The 12m variant has doors on both sides in order to ply on main as well as feeder routes. 18m variant has doors on right side only. https://t.co/wJk7VsDQ9s

PESHAWAR: Experts of Asian Development Bank (ADB) expressed their satisfaction on the provincial capital’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project and declared it as being at par with international standards.

Projects of such nature were normally completed in 24 to 30 months all over the world, while Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) completed the BRT project in a record time 15 months, they said.

The ADB officials were interacting with the media during informal discussion over a test ride on BRT route with K-P Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai and other officials.

They said that the architects of the projects were facing issues in the design near the reach-1 and 2 (Gulbahar and Tehkal) which compelled the engineer to modify things at specific points keeping in mind the flow of the traffic in certain areas.

Responding to a query Yousufzai said: “we have no plan of running the project in front Sunehri Masjid (mosque), but due to protest and agitation of the traders’ unions we asked the PDA to run the elevated point opposite Saddar bazzar.”

On the security point of view, Peshawar is categorised as a red zone in.

Naysayers may continue with all sorts of imagined tales but one important aspect they always fail to mention is that Asian Development Bank is providing almost all funds (48 billion) for Peshawar BRT. They are also supervising this project releasing funds periodically as the project nears is completion. I would say this project is almost complete now.

Another thing that I should mention is that BRT Peshawar cannot be compared with Lahore Metro, a dwarf project in scale and magnitude that was solely funded through government provided funds.

BRT Peshawar is a much longer route and quite some miles were added later on, that were not considered when this project was in planning stages.
