The Punjab government has launched 33 electric buses in Sargodha, marking another major step towards eco-friendly and modern public transport in the province. The initiative aims to provide residents with a cleaner, more reliable, and accessible commuting option while reducing the city’s carbon footprint.
Sargodha is now the latest district after Lahore, Islamabad, and other urban centers to introduce electric buses as part of Punjab’s broader transport modernization drive. Officials say this service will not only cut emissions but also ease daily traffic congestion.
The fleet will operate on key city routes and serve thousands of passengers every day. Equipped with wheelchair accessibility and special seating for differently-abled and elderly citizens, the buses are designed to make travel more inclusive. A dedicated bus depot will also handle charging, washing, and maintenance to keep the service running smoothly.
According to experts, shifting to electric buses will help reduce fuel costs and pollution, aligning with Punjab’s long-term climate-friendly transport policy.
