Previously, Green Bus services were primarily limited to district-level routes. The expansion to tehsils is part of Punjab’s broader plan to modernize its public transport network while emphasizing low-emission, environmentally sustainable mobility. Officials highlighted that the cashless payment system will also enhance commuter safety and encourage more people to adopt green travel alternatives.
The Punjab government’s introduction of digital payment facilities allows passengers to pay using cards, mobile apps, or QR codes, eliminating the need for cash transactions. This move aligns with global trends in smart public transport, ensuring a faster boarding process and reducing physical contact. The new electric buses are designed to operate efficiently, reduce carbon emissions, and support the province’s long-term environmental goals.
In a statement, a transport official said, “Our goal is to make public transport eco-friendly, reliable, and accessible to every citizen, and the cashless system is a major step toward that vision.”
The expansion will initially cover key tehsils in major districts, with plans to gradually include smaller towns across Punjab, making clean and sustainable transport available to millions.
The cashless Green Bus initiative is expected to not only ease urban traffic but also promote environmental consciousness among commuters. As the system grows, it will likely reduce dependency on private vehicles, cut fuel consumption, and contribute to cleaner air across the province
