Zu Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit System Transforming Lives

In Peshawar, Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the newly inaugurated Zu Peshawar (meaning “Let’s Go Peshawar” in the local language Pashto) is transforming lives of citizens’ in the city. A center of trade and commerce close to the border with Afghanistan, the city of around 2 million people has grown rapidly putting significant pressure on Peshawar’s already creaking transport infrastructure. Zu Peshawar features 30 stations along a 27-kilometer corridor linking east to west across the city. It runs a fleet of low-emission, electric-hybrid buses with dedicated lanes to reduce congestion. In addition to well-lit stations, there are priority facilities for women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. The entire line also has 100% step-free, universal accessibility. Jointly financed by ADB, Agence Française de Développement, and the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Zu Peshawar is expected to lead to a 31,000-ton-equivalent reduction in carbon footprint per year. In a city in which public transport for many was limited to old buses, expensive taxis, or walking, Zu Peshawar is now offering a significantly faster, safer, cleaner, and more affordable option – and profoundly changing lives for the better.
