Pakistani student Mah Jabeen credits a new public bus system in her home city with saving her from being stuck at her parents' house doing chores – or even having to get married.
Thanks to the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in the northwestern city of Peshawar, 23-year-old Jabeen said she had been able to continue her master's degree – keeping alive her dreams of becoming a botanist.
