Highlighting the significant daily ridership of over 100,000 individuals on the People’s Bus Service, the Transport Minister also disclosed the rollout of prepaid cards tailored for routes 1 and 9.

Upon successful implementation, this system will extend to all routes, providing substantial convenience to passengers by enabling them to use the same prepaid card across all public transport initiatives, including the Green Line, Orange Line, and upcoming BRT projects.”
Additionally, Memon revealed plans to introduce the Peoples Bus Service in Mirpurkhas, underscoring his commitment to transport infrastructure improvement, a directive bestowed upon him by Bilawal Bhutto and President Asif Ali Zardari.
Furthermore, Memon announced a stringent crackdown against drug trafficking in the province, reflecting the government’s multifaceted approach to public welfare and safety.
