Sindh has launched a new electric vehicle (EV) taxi scheme, adding another layer to its growing urban transport network. The project aims to provide cleaner travel options, improve city mobility, and create job opportunities, particularly for young people.
The initiative was formally inaugurated by Senior Minister for Transport Sharjeel Inam Memon during a ceremony where agreements were signed with Sindh Bank, the Sindh Development Fund, and the Sindh Mass Transit Authority. These partnerships are expected to support the financial and operational rollout of the project.
Officials say the EV taxi scheme is part of a broader effort to shift towards environmentally friendly transport. With rising fuel costs and increasing pollution in major cities, electric vehicles are being seen as a practical alternative for public and commercial transport.
Speaking at the event, the minister highlighted that the government has been steadily expanding its transport initiatives. These include the Pink Bus service and the introduction of electric buses, both of which have gained attention for improving accessibility and safety, especially for women.
