Pakistan’s first-ever electric and environmentally friendly bus service launched in Karachi on Friday. These buses, which run entirely on stored batteries, are of European standard and will not spread any kind of pollution. Along with reducing pollution, the buses would allow travel facilities for citizens at low fares.
The bus would travel from Tank Chowk, Malir Cantt to the Clock Tower roundabout, Seaview via the Khayaban-e-Ittehad road. Furthermore, those travelling to the airport will also be able to travel via newly launched electric buses that will cost only rupees 50, which cost around 1500 until now.
Addressing the people of Karachi, the Sindh Information and Transport Minister stated that the service is the property of the people and that the government and the civilians have to work together to solve the city’s traffic, environmental pollution and other problems.
