Another proof we have jokers in govenrment.....ive already written before what is wrong with the management of Metrobus so will not repeat. But to summarize....Dont expect any infrastructure development during the 5 years of PTI khota government. They claim to use the mtro subsidy money on Education. We can see education and health reforms in the entire country.....Yes yes.....Nazar arahi hai education emergency....

We have fallen behind even a pathetic country like Bangladesh. Go to the Bengali capital Dhaka....they ALREADY have a metro rail network running. Whereas KKarachi being one of the largest cities in the world area wise doesnt even have Metro bus ! (And wont during PTI govenrmetn)

Only if we had spent money on education, we would not have to bear with your silliness!! Still not late, i'm hopeful pak will make efforts to bring sanity in patwaris so they can start using their brains one day!

Bad idea. Everywhere in the world, mass transports are subsidized. There are also indirect benefits of mass transports. E.g. less pollution, less traffic on road thus less fuel.consumption for country and less wear and tear of roads etc

Withdrawal of subsidies should begin from the top. We should know how much have the President, PM, Governors, Ministers, MNAs, Senators, MPAs, Bureaucrats, Army generals and all top brass have relinquished their subsidies, perks and privileges. Then only will the public gladly accept withdrawal of subsidies from them.

What about Imran 's Metro???

Had it for votes, it would be completed before elections. And PTI had already no opposition in Peshawar then why it would do for votes? PTI had won almost all seats in 2013 in Peshawar apart from just one PA seat. And the same result in this elections.

Plus it doesn't have any subsidy.

better should have spent money on road infrastructure and covered all the main routes of a city by running decent buses, dedicated bus lanes, bus stops signal free junctions etc

Then why PTI built it in KPK and that too in more than 70 Billion rupees. If PML(N) can do with corruption in 30 billion then how PTI is building in 70 Billion without corruption.
Give proof. Pmln don't add cost of land acquisition for project. They just mentioned price of road 30bn. Kpk metro has feeder roads included in price. Please learn and study before you comment

You mean keep the white elephant........where the money will come from for subsidy ?

I already replied it.
Yeses
Give them good transportation before withdrawing subsidy.
Plan a affordable transportation system replace it with metro and subsidy will be drawn automatically.
That's how a sensible and caring govt should work.

TransPeshawar or Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit is a bus rapid transitsystem currently under construction by the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) in Peshawar, capital of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province. Divided into two separate phases, the first phase of the TransPeshawar BRT system will encompass an east-west corridor to be served by 31 stations with an initial 255 buses, at a cost of ₨68.9 billion. 88% of funding is being provided by the

History
In 2013, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa requested technical support from the Cities Development Initiative for Asia to improve Peshawar's chaotic, mismanaged, and dilapidated urban transportation network. In 2014, the CDIA completed the Urban Transport Pre-Feasibility Study that devised a 20-year urban transport plan, with a 10-year action plan. The CDIA studied two corridors, an east-west corridor, and a north-south corridor and recommended that the east-west corridor be constructed first, along Peshawar's east-west axis along the Grand Trunk Road. Construction of the project, under the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA), began on 29 October 2017, and is being executed by the Peshawar Development Authority.
Features
TransPeshawar's first phase will consist of an east-west busway which will stretch from Chamkani in the east end to the Karkhano market in the west end of Peshawar.
Route
The system will have 31 stations and will be mostly at grade, with four kilometers of elevated sections and 3 elevated stations.The line will also contain 3.5 kilometers of underpasses. The entire busway will be fenced to prevent unauthorized pedestrian crossings, and to prevent vehicular traffic from entering.
Buses
TransPeshawar was originally planned to use a fleet of 255 buses, of which 155 will be 12 meter-long buses, while 65 will be 18 meter-long articulated buses. The articulated buses will run only within the Service route/within corridor while the 12 meter-long buses will run in primarily in the Feeder system.
The Buses will be of the low-entry type which will allow easy entry and egress from the doorways, especially for patrons using wheelchairs. Each bus will provide free Wifi services for passengers, while stations will have toilet facilities. Buses will arrive every 3 minutes during peak hours, and every 5 minutes during non-peak hours.
Furthermore, the buses will be Diesel-Electric Plug-In Hybrids which will allow them to have improved overall fuel economy and lower emissions. For this purpose, charging stations will also be built to allow for recharging of the vehicle batteries.
The contract for the supply of buses has been formally signed with Xiamen Golden Dragon Bus Co., Ltd.. The tender allowed for a variation of +/-30% in the quantity of buses, thus as a start the contract has been signed for the supply of 155 units of 12-meter buses and 65 units of 18-meter articulated buses for a total value of PKR 5.478 billion. The provision to increase the quantity of buses to a maximum of 388 buses (+30% of 299) is still present, and this may be done depending on the passenger load on the system once the initial batch of 220 buses enters operation.
Stations
TransPeshawar's 31 stations will feature passing lanes at each station, allowing the function of a "direct service" system in which buses from suburban areas can access TransPeshawar's dedicated bus-lanes for use as an express service directly to the city's centre. Each station will be on average 850 metres from the previous station, with an estimated travel time of 2 minutes between adjacent stations. Stations, unlike the buses themselves, will not be air conditioned.
Feeder system
The TransPeshawar system will be complemented by a feeder system consisting of 8 routes extending 68 kilometres. Feeder buses will use dedicated BRT lanes as needed before exiting the system and entering onto city streets as on-street bus service. The feeder routes will add an additional 100 stations along those feeder lines, all of which will be new construction. Feeder station will be spaced approximately 300-500 metres from one another.
Construction
Construction of the east-west corridor will be completed in three phases:
  • Phase 1: Chamkani to Balahisar Fort
  • Phase 2: Balahisar Fort to Aman Chowk
  • Phase 3: Aman Chowk to Karkhano Market
The entire road structure along the east-west corridor will also be reconstructed, and will include a new bicycle lane. The number of traffic lanes along the GT Road will also be reduced, leading to what will be intended as a more pedestrian-friendly street.
Project construction was launched in November 2017, and is being built concurrent to the Peshawar Ring Road, which will redirect heavy vehicles away from the city centre. The project was awarded to consortium led by China Railway 21st Bureau Group, while engineering consulting was provided by Mott MacDonald.
Fares
The provincial government intends to collect fares via an automated ticketing system that is also intended to be used on all city routes. Currently, fares are collected by bus operators. With implementation of the automated ticketing system, bus operators will no longer collect fares.

hats off for you!! "If poor can't afford it, they shouldn't ride it! And it means it was feasible to be built from day 1"

Gareeb becharay ke band bajao bus, and keep on giving rich people Tax Amnesty every year.

koi mard ka bacha hai Pakistan main jo Status Quo ko hath dal sakay, hold on how can Ik do that when all crooks are sitting next to him (Aleem Khan, JKT, Azam Swati) like Noora league and PPP PTI is ful of Tax Chors.

Asad Umar Prepared list of 4 million people who had lavish life style and their taxes were just peanuts, was about to send notices to these people is pehlay wo ye kaam kerta us ke khud he choti ho gaye
Your argument supports the removal of subsidy itself!! You subsidize something to benefit whole community! Not a certain segment. e.g. subsidy on sugar benefits poor all over the country!

This metro was a commission and vote gathering stunt by showbaz! If poor can't afford it, they shouldn't ride it! And it means it was feasible to be built from day 1..!!

We understand that IMF has asked government of Pakistan to remove or reduce all subsidies.
We therefore propose to start from top and remove all subsidies provided to the MP, Ministers, CM, MNA and MPA at their lodges and cafeterias and others such as utilities bills free travel by air etc..
This will help common man understand the upcoming hardships, he will surely feel that he is not the only one who is facing hardship and the government is equally paying its share.
