The federal government has earmarked Rs. 500 million for Bhara Kahu to Faizabad Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in the 2022-23 fiscal budget.

Capital Development Authority (CDA) is gearing up to develop new routes for intracity public transport service. It plans to renovate the road stretching from Koral to T-chowk.

Other projects include the construction of Blue Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on the expressway, as well as the development of Green Line BRT from Bhara Kahu to PIMS.

The government also seeks to restore Islamabad’s aging road infrastructure and provide transport solutions to the general public. It foresees economic, as well as environmental reforms, as a result of better transport facilities within and around the federal capital.
