Earlier in March this year Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had directed the concerned authorities to immediately start development work on the Rawat Faizabad Metro Bus Service. In this regard, it was informed by the concerned senior official that the work on the said project would start soon. The feasibility study of two main projects namely Metro Bus Service from Sadder to Tarnol and Metro Bus Service from Rawat to Faizabad was carried out in 2017 but due to the political crises followed by a change in the government the projects could not be started. Now the new federal government has decided to immediately start the Rawat to Faizabad Metro Bus Project and Bhara Kahu to Faizabad Bus Project to facilitate the masses in a true sense.

 It is pertinent to mention here that over the past couple of decades there has been a rapid growth of settlements and housing societies in the surroundings of the twin cities.

The people from the length and breadth of the country have settled in the twin cities to enjoy better living standards but at the same time, there has been a great rush on the roads. The metro bus service From Sadder to Pak Secretariat is already functioning efficiently, Metro Bus from Peshawer Mor to New Airpot is also partially operational. The addition of the Metro Bus from Faizabad to Rawat and from Faizabad to Bhara Kahu will significantly minimize the woes and worries of the daily commuters.
