TransPeshawar

TransPeshawar BRT system consists of two parts: the first encompasses an east–west corridor served by 30 stations on a dedicated lane for exclusive use by buses, while the second part consists of a network of feeder routes in which buses can enter and exit the system to travel on city streets.

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.

TransPeshawar's 30 stations 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.

[11] Feeder buses use dedicated BRT lanes as needed before exiting the system and entering onto city streets as on-street bus service.

[3] 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.

[3] 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.

During the Pakistan General Elections in 2018, allegations were raised against the KPK government by an engineer who resigned and claimed corruption in the project resulting in it being delayed.

The General Manager (Operations) Tariq Mehmood rejected the allegations and said the assistant resident engineer was sacked from his job due to his ‘poor performance’ and ‘incompetence’.

In March/April 2019, under the orders and directions of Chief Minister Mahmood Khan Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa conducted an inquiry on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

The provincial inspection team submitted a detailed report on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project with an estimate that ‘some people’ allegedly received kickbacks totaling around Rs.

[26] It was reported that there was a technical fault in the controller installed between the switching point of hybrid batteries and electric motors.

TransPeshawar buses use their own dedicated lane to serve 30 stations
