Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced that electric buses will be introduced in all 148 tehsils of Punjab as part of a major expansion of the province’s public transport system.
She said the plan aims to improve travel facilities and modernize transport infrastructure across both cities and smaller towns in the province.
Last month, she had already approved electric buses for 10 more districts in Punjab, including Attock, Bhakkar, Hafizabad, Khanewal, Layyah, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Mandi Bahauddin, and Okara.
The approval was given during a meeting focused on mass transit projects in Faisalabad and Gujranwala. In that meeting, she also ordered officials to speed up work on metro bus stations and approved new station designs.
The Punjab government says it is expanding electric buses and mass transit systems in different cities to improve transport and reduce pollution.
