The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Sunday decided to give role to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to promote tourism as well, wherein the task is being assigned to the KP Culture and Tourism Authority (KPCTA) in this regard.
Similarly BRT service is being seriously considered to be expanded to the divisional headquarters and major cities of the province, including Abbottabad and Dera Ismail Khan. This modern urban transport system will have certain new features too.
The huge resources thus required for this purpose will be arranged through the sponsors so that there is no burden on the provincial exchequer or the public and no extra taxes has to be levied. This was revealed by Zahid Chanzeb, the Advisor to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Tourism, Culture.—APP
