The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Urban Mobility Authority (KPUMA) has announced an increase in the fares for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, as outlined in a recent notification. Effective July 1, 2025, the minimum fare for BRT services will rise by Rs 10, changing from the current rate of Rs 20 to Rs 30.
The notification details that while the minimum fare will see this adjustment, fares for express routes operating on feeder routes will remain unchanged. The decision comes in light of rising fuel prices, prompting officials to state that this increase is essential for maintaining high-quality travel services for passengers.
In a statement, KPUMA officials emphasised the importance of ensuring uninterrupted travel facilities, which have necessitated this fare adjustment. Commuters are encouraged to prepare for the new fare structure as the implementation date approaches.
The fare increase underscores the ongoing challenges faced by public transport authorities amid fluctuating operational costs, raising concerns and interest among daily commuters and stakeholders in the region.
For further details, passengers can visit the KPUMA website or contact customer service to stay informed about the upcoming changes.
