It included 21 bus stations spread over an 18.5km route, which are expected to facilitate 97,000 commuters daily, he said.
The project's technical adviser, Sabir Khan Sadozai, claimed that the project was technically faultless. He said as many as 2,600 jobs would be created over time due to the project.
