Expanding Green Mobility in Sindh
Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon emphasized that the government is prioritizing “green” initiatives to combat urban pollution. By integrating the Karachi Electric Bus Route into the existing framework, the Sindh government aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the city’s mass transit while offering a cheaper alternative to private fuel-run vehicles.
The expansion is part of a broader master plan to link all major residential sectors with Karachi’s commercial heart, ensuring that the People’s Bus Service remains the backbone of the city’s public mobility.
