Karachi: The Sindh government has launched the eagerly awaited “Peoples Bus Service,” ushering in a new era of efficient and accessible transit options. The highlight of this innovative addition is the introduction of the electric bus route, EV-1, which promises a greener and more sustainable future for Karachi’s commuters.

The Peoples Bus Service features a fleet of modern, air-conditioned red buses designed for the comfort of approximately 40 passengers, with dedicated sections for women. With standing room for an additional 40 commuters, these buses ensure a convenient travel experience for all.

In keeping with affordability, the standard fare for most routes is set at an economical PKR 50. Notably, Route 9 incurs a slightly higher fare of PKR 100 after Malir Halt.

This cost-effective pricing structure aims to make the People’s Bus Service an accessible choice for a broad spectrum of Karachi’s population.

The introduction of electric buses, including EV-1, EV-2, and EV-3, marks a significant leap forward in Karachi’s public transportation system. Focusing on EV-1, this electric vehicle covers a distance of 28 kilometers and is currently operational.

The route spans from CMH Malir Cantt to Dolmen Mall Clifton, featuring key stops such as Tank Chowk, Model Colony Mor, Jinnah Ave, Airport, and more.

The EV-1 route encompasses vital destinations like CMH Malir Cantt, Tank Chowk, Drigh Road Station, DHA Phase 1, and Dolmen Mall Clifton, ensuring seamless connectivity across the city.

This network of stops aims to facilitate convenient commuting for residents while reducing environmental impact with its eco-friendly electric buses.

The People’s Bus Service’s commitment to improving transit options reflects a dedication to enhancing the quality of life for Karachi’s residents.
