Peshawar considers building metro
PESHAWAR – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is considering a modern overhead metro train service in Peshawar, officials said August 7.
"The track for the metro train project would start from Chamkani village and end at Hayatabad, covering almost the entire Grand Trunk Road or University Road that bisects the city," Provincial Transport Authority official Muhammad Aslam said.
Before the project can move forward, engineers and international investors need to consider the project's feasibility and the option of underground versus overhead, he said, adding that the project is vital because "the residents of Peshawar need a serious break from suffocating traffic jams."
