ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) was making all-out efforts to provide comfortable, quality and economical transport facilities to the residents of twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, said CDA spokesperson Rana Shakeel on Monday.

The new transport system is being established on modern lines for coping up with the increasing pressure of transport and solving the problems like traffic jams, he said while talking to Radio Pakistan.

The route from Peshawar Mor to New Islamabad Airport has already been linked through Orange Line Metro Service and the project is running successfully, Rana Shakeel added.

The spokesperson further said that we have imported new orange buses from China for this route, adding that in the next phase, two new routes will be added: First route is from Bara Kahu to PIMS and second from Rawat to PIMS.

CDA Shakeel informed that the road extension work from Rawat to Koral is underway, so we will initially run the route from Koral to PIMS.

These two routes with the Blue Line and Green Line buses will be linked with Metro Bus Service at PIMS.

Moreover, the CDA is working on feeder routes and planning to launch the shuttle services from the villages to the terminals, he added.
