- Poor choice of shiny Chinese tiles in the main stations, very slippery as well and thin too and easily breakable, there are separate heavy duty tiles available for such high passenger traffic areas. And with non slippery and matt finish material and floor signage.

-The Railing or Jangla with sharp spikes at the top can kill anyone in case of any accident, in many cases motorcyclists/person crossing the road, hit by speeding vehicles usually flies in the air, many feet above the ground and can land on such sharp spikes on the Jangla, can instantly kill anyone.

-Also the Jangla is of poor design, should be just straight railings, now people can put one foot on the Jangla horizontal bar and can climb the Jangla, should have been only vertical straight railings, with no cheap fancy design needed.

Lots of bad design qualities here as well, how any planner can ignore such basic design practices. Grey is a neutral color, should have been used as floor marking and passenger traffic signs on floor looks best on a neutral Grey color.

A consortium led by Chinese state-backed contractor E-Hualu Information Technology Co. Ltd. has won a 578 million yuan ($83.69 million) bid to build a bus rapid-transit (BRT) system in Pakistan.

The project in the city of Peshawar, 187 kilometers (116 miles) east of the capital, Islamabad, will see the consortium supply, install and maintain the BRT system, the Beijing-based company said in a statement (link in Chinese) on Monday. E-Hualu’s two partners are Beijing Santel Technology & Trading Corp. and the Pakistan-based LMK Resources Pakistan (Private) Ltd.

The tender — on behalf of the Urban Mobility Co., which was set up by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government — also involves 10 years of operation and maintenance, including ticketing.


“This project in Pakistan — a pioneer country for the Belt and Road Initiative — represents the recognition of an international market,” E-Hualu said in the statement, referring to Beijing’s signature program that aims to develop China’s infrastructure and trade links along historical trade routes.

Founded in 2001, Shenzhen-listed E-Hualu is affiliated with China Hualu Group Co. Ltd., which is directly administrated by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, China’s cabinet.

E-Hualu provides internet services for government-related contracts in sectors that include transportation, public security, and health. It currently operates in more than 300 cities in China and countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, including India and Kenya.

The project in Peshawar is E-Hualu’s second in the country, after it partnered with the government of Islamabad in 2016 to build an electronic policing system.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has finalised a vendor for the operation of an intelligent transport system for the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit. The decision was taken by the Board of Directors of TransPeshawar, the urban mobility company responsible for the operation of the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit, on Thursday.

The vendor will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, operation, and maintenance of the four major project components for the Peshawar BRT, including intelligent transport and management of fares and station systems.

The idea is to align the requirements needed for operation of the BRT as the construction work progresses. “The buses are in the final stages of delivery to Peshawar,” shared TransPeshawar spokesperson Noman Manzoor, confirming that the vehicle operating company has been finalised and the System Control Goods and Services (SCGS) service provider is also in place now.

The company selected for the contract is a joint venture of two Chinese companies and a Pakistani company – Beijing Santel Technology and Trading Corporation, Beijing E-Hualu Information Technology Co Ltd and LMK Resources Pakistan (Private) Limited. With the experience of managing similar global public transport systems, particularly in China, the companies will be on board for 10 years, which is in line with the warranty [time] of the equipment, according to the statement.

An intelligent transportation system (ITS) gives access to passenger information, fleet scheduling, and fleet management in real time. The fare system will comprise electronic fare media, a mobile app, automatic fare collection, electronic fare validation and settlement and clearance processing.

The contractor will also manage the station which covers passenger services at the station and corridor, physical security, CCTV cameras, general cleaning and light maintenance. The bicycle sharing system will also be handled by it.

The company was procured based on a competitive process as per the Asian Development Bank’s procurement rules
