According to reports, ever since the project which costed Rs 69 billion was launched on August 13, five Peshawar BRT buses have broken down. This unfortunate incident also led to PTI's political opponents to hop onto the bandwagon and troll the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for failing to provide quality transport buses to the public.
