Responding to a citizen’s comment online, the chief minister confirmed that more than 100 buses will soon arrive in Rawalpindi, adding that other districts would also receive their share of eco-friendly vehicles in the coming months.
This latest development follows earlier updates:
The Punjab electric bus project aims to gradually replace conventional buses with electric vehicles across both urban and rural districts. By making transport affordable at just Rs20 per trip, the government is ensuring that public mobility becomes more economical, environmentally friendly, and accessible.
This initiative not only addresses Punjab’s long-standing public transport challenges but also aligns with Pakistan’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and embracing clean energy solutions.
