as far as i know this idea was taken from Turkey during the CM's visit to Turkey , he saw this system and liked the idea
from there the plan started to run similar thing in Lahore too ...i think the machines etc are all incorporated by turkey as shown in the pictures and the idea of buses was too adopted form there and then may be the buses were built in china under license form the original company may be to save the cost

actually china operation BRT long times before turkey.

our first BRT began to operation in 1999.

and the bus that Lahore metro bus using is sunwin bus with sunwin logo(not volvo logo).
that turkey bought from china.

in my view it was more political reason that Turkey won the metro bus deal.

As I know,there is a Chinese company bid for this project.and they quoted a lower price than the Turkey company.Maybe,in that contract, specified Chinese bus suppliers and part of construction. If so, Lahore looks after us verymuch.

its not about who operated it for long i think it might have to do with the infrastructure or may be in Turkey was the first time he saw any such thing and adopted the same...may be Turkey along with machines incorporation has also something to do with the design or planning phase ...and later chinese company was selected due to cheaper costs or may be because turkey herself was using buses form the same company
