Cabinet Approves Bus Rapid Transit System, Extends Government-to-Government Fuel Agreement

The Cabinet has officially approved the implementation of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system as part of efforts to improve urban mobility and address traffic congestion. The project aims to introduce a more efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly public transport system.

The BRT system will involve dedicated bus corridors, modern stations, and advanced ticketing systems, which are expected to streamline passenger movement and reduce travel times in key urban centers. Authorities believe this initiative will support economic growth by enhancing transportation infrastructure and providing thousands of jobs during the construction and operation phases.

In addition, the government extended its Government-to-Government (G-to-G) fuel supply agreement. This extension is aimed at stabilizing fuel prices, ensuring consistent supply, and cushioning citizens against fluctuating global oil markets.

Officials emphasized that the BRT system and G-to-G fuel deal align with broader national goals to improve public services and ensure economic stability. Further details on implementation timelines and key stakeholders involved will be provided in the coming weeks.
