Punjab to Launch Electric Green Bus Service in Another Division

The Punjab Government is moving forward with its environmentally friendly transport initiative by introducing an electric green bus service in another division of the province. This decision follows the success of similar services in Lahore and other urban centers, aiming to provide clean, affordable, and efficient transportation for citizens.

The upcoming electric bus service is expected to operate on major routes in the division, connecting busy areas with eco-friendly vehicles. According to official sources, planning and route mapping have already started. The project is part of Punjab’s broader vision to promote sustainable urban mobility and reduce air pollution caused by traditional diesel-powered transport.

Officials from the Punjab Mass Transit Authority stated that the electric buses will be equipped with modern technology, ensuring safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. The government plans to install charging stations at key points and integrate real-time tracking systems to help passengers plan their commutes more easily.

The Punjab Transport Department revealed that this new launch would not only cut down carbon emissions but also reduce fuel import dependency in the long term. They emphasized that the buses will operate on renewable energy sources, aligning with Pakistan’s green energy goals and international environmental commitments.

This step is also expected to generate employment opportunities, as new staff will be hired for operations, maintenance, and management. Moreover, training programs are being designed for drivers and technical teams to handle the new electric fleet efficiently.

Local residents have welcomed the announcement, saying that affordable and clean transport is much needed, especially in areas where public transport options are limited or outdated. The Punjab government aims to keep ticket prices low while maintaining high standards of service, ensuring accessibility for students, workers, and daily commuters.

With this new expansion, Punjab is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable urban transportation in Pakistan. Authorities have promised timely implementation and transparent monitoring of the service’s performance once it launches.

This move is seen as a major milestone in Pakistan’s shift toward green infrastructure, and it is expected to encourage other provinces to adopt electric public transport systems in the near future.
