Summary Delay in the project is due to lack of interest, say citizens
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Claims to release traffic pressure from the roads of Peshawar have been reduced to mere paperwork as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa failed to launch rapid bus service after a delay of one year, reported Dunya News on Thursday.
According to sources in rapid bus service, the service was intended to reduce the time required to travel from Chamakni to factories from 2 and half hours to one hour.
A decision had also been taken to allocate an amount of 14 arab rupees for the project in addition to making a feasibility report.
52 buses will run on the proposed route by rapid bus service through which 1 lac people will travel and only 35 rupees will be charged for the whole route.
The project however has failed to materialize.
According to government, one of the reasons in delay of project is the non-allotment of land by Railway Ministry around railway lands.
On the other hand, citizens’ stance on the matter is that the delay in the project is due to lack of interest on the part of provincial government.
