Asian Development Bank is Satisfied With Peshawar BRT Project
The local media’s hue and cry over the delayed completion of Peshawar Rapid Bus Transit (BRT) was in vain as the Asia Development Bank (ADB) – the financier of the BRT – has shown satisfaction over the pace and quality of the project.
ADB’s officials made these remarks while formally speaking to media after taking a test ride on the BRT route.
Information Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Shaukat Yousufzai and other officials were also present.
The officials were satisfied that the project was on par with international standards and that was completed within the standard duration.
“Projects of such nature normally complete in 24 to 30 months all over the world, while Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) completed the BRT project in record time 15 months,” they said
The KP provincial government has said that the much-derided multi-billion Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Peshawar will be completed in June this year –after missing multiple deadlines.
