The ZuPeshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service has raised the cost of its ‘Zu Cards’.
The service launched these cards in mid-2020 to help the public. The initial price of these cards was Rs. 250, but due to ongoing inflation, it has been raised to Rs. 300.
The card enables travellers to use the service without having to wait in long lines or purchase a ticket. Users can load a certain amount of money onto these cards and travel without incident. The following is the application process:
- Step – 1: Select the language in the menu.
- Step – 2: Various options will appear on the screen like buying a new card, or recharging the card. In case of recharge, insert your card into the machine and then proceed further.
- Step – 3: Choose between cash, debit card, credit card, Easypaisa, and JazzCash to pay for or recharge your card.
- Step – 4: After selecting the mode of payment, you have to select the amount. You can add Rs. 100 up to Rs. 1000 to your card.
- Step – 5: After paying, go to the entrance gate. Place the card on the scanner and you’re good to go.
TransPeshawar has increased the price of its card by Rs. 50 after two and a half years due to massive inflation. Given the popularity of the BRT service, the card is expected to remain in high demand.
