Lahore police and the Safe City Authority have launched a security barcode system for all public transport and online taxi services across the provincial capital .
The barcodes will store complete details of every driver, conductor, and vehicle operating within the public and private transport network in the Fort City.
Police and the Safe City Authority have already begun work on generating and assigning these security barcodes to all registered transport operators.
Records of online taxi drivers, motorcycles, private ride-hailing vehicles, and all public transport units are currently being compiled and digitised by authorities.
Passengers will be able to scan the barcode before boarding any vehicle to instantly access complete details of the driver and transport.
The barcode system will also allow online ride-hailing users to verify full vehicle and driver information before accepting any ride booked through apps.
Police in the city have stated that the barcode system will prevent individuals with criminal records from working as drivers in any transport category.
Online food delivery riders have also been brought under the new security framework, with character certificates now made mandatory for all delivery personnel.
DIG Faisal Kamran said the new measures would help identify individuals involved in serious crimes, including assault, operating under the cover of delivery work.
Authorities have formally requested complete employee records from all food delivery companies currently operating within Lahore to support the ongoing verification process.
