According to the Capital Development Authority (CDA) officials, the last batch of 14 buses has left for Islamabad from China.

CDA officials said that the construction of the zero-point charging station has started.

CDA officials said that earlier the construction of the charging station was delayed due to the cancellation of the tender twice and now CDA has issued a tender for the charging station at reduced rates. Officials said that first, chargers and parking areas will be prepared for the new routes.

CDA officials said that in the first phase, offices will be set up in containers and operations will be started. They said that one month will be required to train drivers on the new routes.
