CNG for Pak buses: Pakistan environment minister Hameedullah Jan Afridi has asked the country's
planning commission and the ministry of petroleum to submit a timeline for introducing CNG buses for public transport. Pakistan plans to run
8,000 CNG buses in nine cities. The deadline for the project was set for February 2008 and then extended to July 2008. The project, a
public-private partnership, failed to meet the deadline due to several reasons including non-provision of funds.
