Officials said 14 electric buses will serve the route, offering a modern and environmentally friendly travel option to residents. Senior citizens, women and students will be allowed to travel free of charge under the provincial government’s policy.
Speaking at the ceremony, provincial leaders said the expansion of the electric bus network to the tehsil level aims to improve connectivity in smaller cities and provide safe and reliable transport facilities. Each bus has been equipped with surveillance cameras to enhance passenger security.
The transport department has announced plans to deploy 1,100 electric buses across Punjab this year, with an additional 1,500 buses proposed for the next phase. Authorities said the broader objective is to reduce fuel consumption, cut emissions and modernize the province’s public transport infrastructure.
