PESTLE Analysis: Political Economic Social

The document provides an analysis of the Peshawar Rapid Transit (PRT) project using the PESTLE framework. Politically, decisions need to be made promptly based on technical factors to take advantage of the opportunity window. Economically, the PRT will encourage passengers to switch from buses and reduce emissions and congestion. Socially, there will be improved access and service standards for users. Technologically, the PRT will modernize the transport system with new fleet maintenance programs and control systems. Legally, there are no known impediments to establishing the necessary oversight body or traffic legislation. Environmentally, the PRT is expected to reduce vehicle emissions and have no significant adverse impacts.
