The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has recommended keeping the minimum fare for Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) at Rs. 10 per trip. This was discussed in a steering committee’s meeting chaired by the additional chief secretary on Tuesday.
The recommendation, agreed upon by most of the participants, suggested that the minimum fare from point A to point B should be kept as low as Rs. 10, while the maximum fare should be Rs. 50. The ticket pricing will vary with the distance, and the number of stations traveled.
