He stressed that efforts should be made to complete both the BRT projects ahead of schedule to benefit the public, as the completion of these projects would make travel easier for the residents, benefiting millions. He noted that all the parties are actively working to ensure the projects’ timely and successful completion. He emphasised that these projects are a top priority for the government, and that their timely completion would bring considerable relief to millions of people.
