In a major step towards advancing public transportation and combating urban pollution, the Sindh government has announced the upcoming launch of 1,000 electric buses across the province.
According to the Sindh government, this initiative is planned to significantly transform urban mobility while supporting the provincial climate agenda and improving the quality of life for millions of commuters.
According to official sources, Karachi, the economic hub and capital of Sindh, will be the primary beneficiary of this transformation, with 500 electric buses allocated to serve its high-density metropolitan routes.
This will provide residents with a cleaner, more reliable, and affordable alternative to traditional fuel-based transport.
As per govt, the launch of these electric buses is aligned with Sindh’s climate-resilient transportation strategy, aimed at reducing carbon emissions, cutting fuel dependency, and alleviating the city’s traffic congestion issues.
The use of zero-emission buses will play an important role in lowering air pollution levels, especially in densely populated urban areas.
In addition, the Sindh government claimed that the deployment of electric buses will create new job opportunities in the transport and maintenance sectors, and encourage the development of necessary EV infrastructure, such as charging stations across major city hubs.
As the first phase of implementation begins in the coming months, residents of Sindh will look forward to a cleaner, greener, and more efficient public transport system.
