On one hand the confused party is criticizing the Islamabad metro Bus and wanted the federal government to spend 4 billion on the project instead of budgeted 28billion. In Islamabad they think spending on Bus transport for poor commuters is a wastage of national resources. On the other hand they want to spend 63 billion rupees on a replica project in Peshawar.

Work begins on mass transit project feasibility - Newspaper - DAWN.COM

In Lahore it’s the pathetic jungla bus.. while in Peshawar it will be a symbol of PTI’s achievements (if completed)..
…

Peshawar project quote is for a metro train and bus service, combined. Secondly, it will be investor funded, not taxpayer funded. It will not be built on the whims of a king or prince as in Punjab. It will be built based on proper feasibility studies.
As for Islamabad, the government’s motives are pretty clear in the way they have conducted the project. Islamabad citizens have largely resisted the scope of the project. Yet the govt started work on it even before EPA approval. The fact that a person like Hanif Abbasi has been left in charge of the Pindi side solely to prop him back up politically is shameless to say the least.
