This recommendation was proposed during steering committee meeting headed by additional chief secretary and awaits final approval by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan.

All citizens including students and the elderly would be able to benefit from BRT and to facilitate them further, it was suggested that passengers should be taught how to use the ticket system by deploying interns or volunteers at each stop.
