The Punjab government has announced plans to expand its electric bus network to more cities, aiming to provide eco-friendly, modern, and accessible public transport. This initiative highlights the province’s commitment to reducing pollution and improving commuter experience.
The Punjab Transport Company confirmed that electric buses will soon start operating in Rajanpur, Gujar Khan, Bahawalpur, Toba Tek Singh, and Rahim Yar Khan. The buses will feature air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and accessibility support for passengers with disabilities, making daily commutes more comfortable and inclusive.
Officials say the expansion is part of the provincial government’s broader transport initiative to modernize public transit and promote sustainable mobility. While exact routes, schedules, and fares are yet to be announced, the move reflects a growing focus on eco-friendly transportation solutions in Punjab.
The electric bus program was first launched in major cities to reduce vehicle emissions and traffic congestion. Early deployments have shown increased public interest due to improved comfort and environmental benefits. By extending the network to additional cities, Punjab aims to make clean and efficient public transport accessible to more residents.
