In fact, the video dates back to August 2026, when 25 new buses arrived in Peshawar for the BRT service. Following the arrival of another 25 buses, the total number of buses in the BRT fleet increased from 244 to 296.
Thus, according to the information provided, claims circulating on social media that Peshawar’s BRT buses are being transferred to Punjab contradict the facts, while the arrival of new buses increased the overall size of the BRT fleet.
