Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab on Wednesday acknowledged delays in the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, expressing concern over the prolonged timeline for its completion.

Speaking to the media, he said the project, which remains incomplete, has become a source of embarrassment, adding that he had been informed it may take up to two more years to finish.

Wahab noted that Sindh's transport minister is making efforts to expedite the project’s completion.
