Lahore and Peshawar cannot be compared for many reason. I could understand if the budget exceeds beyond 50 billion for Lahore considering the size and population, but Peshawar?
Population of city do not effect cost. Number of daily commuter's does.
The Peshawar metro is designed for 500,000 daily commuters. while Lahore bus metro is for 20,0000, while ISB metro bus is for 100,558 daily commuters. You can see the difference if you want to.
You can recheck the daily ridership for each.

How 500,000 people will travel on 26Km track by Metro Bus? Any data to backup ur claim.

Lahore is way bigger than Peshawar but BRT in lahore can accommodate around 180,000 people on 27Km track
Using 450 buses, I think.
Go through this link, and check the specifications. you can also find Peshawar BRT specifications in this thread.

I am talking about Metrobus which will cost 57 Billion for 26Km track. You are mixing up things.
Your Question : How is this system going to accommodate 500,000 daily commuters.
My Answer : Using 450 buses.
Avoid other Provided materials. and no, all my data to back this statement is from news details about this project. and i can't dig things for you. you have to search for the media reports.
Just google "Peshawar BRT", open the news links and read.
@RealNapster You are just playing with words, We are talking here only about BRT, not about feeder buses or related project. BRT cost is 33Billion for 26KM track. Remaining is for feeder buses, parking plazas etc.
Before asking any question from me regarding "design specifications" of this project first you have to make your mind clear about 1-2 things.
1. i am not the designer.
2. i am not the claimer. i am just passing the information i got from multi-sources about this project.
3. When wikipedia says Lahore metro bus system is designed for 180,000 riders, i believed. as it's mentioned by many many sources. same is the case with Pesh Metro Bus.
If we look at Lahore BRT then surely it will be accessible to much more people bec lahore population is much higher than peshawar.
Thats the point, when we do discuss thing then we should backup with facts. Well cheers mate ma happy for all these projects at the end it will help common man. Cheers
So if we take total length according To peshwar BRT project. then Total route length of lahore route is 27+129 = 156Km.
