Part of the Punjab government's push for the normalisation of electric bus services, the Punjab government has confirmed 10 new routes for the 80 electric buses (e-buses) announced for Rawalpindi last week that are slated to hit the roads by mid-October.
The introduction of e-buses is being carried out across Punjab in a bid to ensure a cleaner public transport system and less pollution and urban traffic in the region.
Covering a total distance of 86 kilometres, the routes for Rawalpindi e-buses service were confirmed by Deputy Commissioner Dr Hassan Waqar Cheema.
The electric public bus service will connect with Islamabad’s transport network, allowing hassle-free intercity travel for the residents of both cities.
For the project, a new bus depot is currently being established on 28 kanals of land along Peshawar Road, which will accommodate up to 100 buses.
The new e-bus service will provide modern transport to areas currently underserved by the Metro Bus system.
New electric bus routes in Rawalpindi
- Railway Station to Lahore High Court Rawalpindi Bench
- Koral Chowk to Fawara Chowk
- Umar Baig Chowk to Mandi Mor
- Munawar Colony to Saddar
- Marrir Chowk to Motorway Mor
- Faizabad to Tramri Chowk
- IJP Metro Station to Kuri Road
- Saddar to Lalarukh Colony
- Umair Baig Road to Qadeemi Imambargah Mohallah

Officials believe this initiative will modernise transport in the city, reduce reliance on private vehicles, and lower emissions in Rawalpindi and its cantonment areas.
