In a major step toward sustainable transport, another Punjab district gets electric bus service, expanding the province’s eco-friendly public transport network. The new fleet aims to reduce air pollution and provide affordable, efficient, and clean mobility for daily commuters.
Punjab’s Transport Department inaugurated the latest phase of its green initiative this week, marking the official launch of electric buses in the district. The move follows the successful implementation of similar services in Lahore and Rawalpindi. Officials said another Punjab district gets electric bus service as part of the government’s plan to modernize the transport sector while cutting carbon emissions.
The newly launched buses are equipped with advanced features such as air conditioning, CCTV cameras, low-floor entry, and wheelchair access. These facilities are designed to ensure safety and comfort for all passengers. Authorities also confirmed that special charging stations have been installed at key terminals to keep the fleet running smoothly throughout the day.
According to Transport Secretary Ahmed Javed Qazi, the electric bus project is a vital part of Punjab’s clean energy strategy. “Our goal is to make urban transport more sustainable and accessible,” he said. “We are proud that another Punjab district gets electric bus service under our green mobility vision.”
Local commuters have praised the initiative, highlighting that electric buses offer a smoother and quieter ride compared to traditional diesel vehicles. Environmental experts have also welcomed the development, noting that electric buses significantly lower harmful emissions and help combat smog — a persistent problem in Punjab’s urban centers.
With another Punjab district gets electric bus service, the provincial government continues to make progress toward building a modern, climate-friendly transportation system. More districts are expected to follow as part of the next phase of Punjab’s electric mobility expansion.
