Furthering its commitment to provide affordable and hassle-free transport services to entire Pakistan, Careem launched its services in Bahawalpur, one of the largest cities in Punjab. Through this launch, Careem wishes to increase the mobility of the region and provide users with safe and reliable transportation services.

Careem, with its recent initiative, looks to facilitate every individual’s transportation needs, especially the working class of the city. The service is reasonably priced and is ideal for a safe and reliable experience.
