Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched Lahore’s first electric bus service as a pilot project, marking a significant step towards eco-friendly public transport.

During the launch, she personally took a ride on one of the electric buses and received a briefing from Provincial Transport Minister Bilal Akbar about the project. The buses are equipped with modern features such as Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, GPS tracking, and designated seats for differently-abled passengers.

The service will operate along a 21-kilometer route, connecting Lahore Railway Station to Green Town. The buses, imported from China, will be supported by nine charging stations. The fleet is expected to serve around 17,000 passengers daily.

Passengers will also benefit from digital payment options and real-time tracking of bus locations, making commuting more convenient. This initiative underscores Punjab’s commitment to providing a cleaner and more efficient public transport system, ensuring safer and more comfortable travel for the people of Lahore.
