The metro bus project from Peshawar Mor to New Islamabad Airport appears to be on track, with city officials preparing to put orders for 30 vehicles after opening financial bids.
On the order of the federal government, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) took over the project from the National Highway Authority in March of this year.
The government has set around Rs300 million for this initiative in the fiscal year 2020-21.
The CDA’s technical committee has opened financial proposals from corporations, and an overseas firm – Higher Bus Company Limited – emerged as the lowest bidder with a Rs728 million bid for 30 buses.
