Faisalabad is set to launch a new chapter in urban transport as 30 electric buses have arrived and will soon operate across seven major routes of the city. The service, expected to be inaugurated later this week by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, aims to provide clean, affordable, and reliable public transport to thousands of commuters.
Like many growing cities, Faisalabad has struggled with heavy traffic, rising fuel costs, and worsening air quality. As part of Punjab’s Green Initiative, the government has already launched electric transport projects in other districts, and now Faisalabad joins the list. This move reflects a broader commitment to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and combating urban pollution.
Authorities confirmed that three modern bus depots are being set up in Ghulam Muhammad Abad, Sargodha Road, and Gutwala Road to support daily operations. Officials also highlighted that the system is designed with affordability in mind, ensuring students, elderly citizens, and low-income groups benefit most from the service.
