TransPeshawar (Urdu: ٹرانز پشاور‎; Pashto: ټرانز پيښور‎) is a bus rapid transit system currently under construction in Peshawar, capital of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The TransPeshawar transit system will be served by 31 stations, and span the entire urban region of Peshawar from east to west. An initial 383 buses are to service the line. The provincial government intends to complete the project by the beginning of 2018.

The provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2013 requested technical support from the City Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA) in order to improve Peshawar's chaotic, mismanaged, and dilapidated urban transportation network.

In 2014, CDIA completed the Urban Transport Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) that devised a 20-year urban transport plan, with a 10-year "action plan." The CDIA studied two corridors, an east-west corridor, and a north-south corridor. CDIA recommended that the east-west corridor be constructed first, along Peshawar's east-west axis along the Grand Trunk Road, with most of the city's development concentrated within a few kilometers of the road.

TransPeshawar will consist of a dedicated bus-lane that will stretch from Chamkani in the east, to Karkhano and Hayatabad in the west. The system will have 31 stations and will be mostly at grade, with four kilometres of elevated sections with 3 elevated stations. The system will also contain 3.5 kilometres of underpasses.

The entire lane will be fenced to prevent unauthorised pedestrian crossings, and to prevent vehicular traffic from entering the bus lane.

The TransPeshawar system will be complemented by a feeder system consisting of 8 routes extending 68 kilometres. Feeder buses will use dedicated BRT lanes as needed before exiting the system and entering onto city streets as on-street bus service.
