title: "KP approves free BRT travel for senior citizens under Ehsaas Buzurg Card"
description: "Most outlets reported the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government's approval of free BRT travel for senior citizens under the Ehsaas Buzurg Card, with a focus on the eligibility age (60 and above) and the nature of the approval (in-principle or formal). The Nation and Daily Times led with slightly different names for the initiative — “Ehsaas Buzurg Card” versus “Ehsaas Senior Citizens Card” — while other outlets used the former. Dunya News and 24 News HD included the estimated annual cost of Rs935 million, a detail omitted by the others."
