Kandahar Transport Director Najibullah Ahmadi said that his department is making efforts to launch a new bus service between Kandahar City, the capital of southern Kandahar province, and Quetta, the capital of Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province.
Ninety percent of the project is completed and currently officials of the two countries are in talks on technical issues and security arrangements.
The new service would charge a much lesser fare than other public transport vehicles.
News of Kandahar-Quetta bus service comes days after the Pakistani consul-general in Kandahar said a rail track would be constructed between the two cities.
Farmanullah Yousafzai said high-level talks on the railroad had already taken place and a decision to execute the project had been made. The envoy said an agreement on the bus service had been reached between the two sides and it would be launched soon.
