He drew a comparison between the Bus Rapid Transit Peshawar and other projects of similar nature adding that Peshawar Rapid Bus Transit had prominent features that other metro projects don't have. He reminded that Rapid Bus Transit Peshawar is a transparent project wherein everything is open, transparent and nothing had ever been kept secret in the whole process from the commencement to the implementation stage of the project.
