Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced plans to introduce electric buses in all 148 tehsils of the province as part of the government’s efforts to modernize public transport and expand sustainable mobility infrastructure.
In an official statement, the chief minister said the electric bus network would be expanded across Punjab to improve commuting facilities, enhance urban transport systems, and reduce environmental pollution.
The announcement follows the provincial government’s recent approval of new electric buses for 10 additional districts, including Attock, Bhakkar, Hafizabad, Khanewal, Layyah, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Mandi Bahauddin, and Okara.
The decision was made during a meeting reviewing the progress of mass transit projects in Faisalabad and Gujranwala. During the session, Maryam Nawaz directed authorities to accelerate construction and rehabilitation work on metro bus stations and also approved updated station designs.
The Punjab government has been actively expanding electric and mass transit initiatives in several cities as part of a broader strategy to improve public transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and promote environmentally friendly travel solutions.
