KARACHI: Sharjeel Inam Memon, Transport Minister of Sindh stated on Saturday that the Orange Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Service had begun commercial operations.

Sharjeel Inam Memon, the provincial government’s spokesperson, stated that the initiative has been launched for the people of Karachi. “Every day, almost 24,000 people can use modern public transportation,” he asserted.

According to the provincial minister, the Orange Line BRT Service has been integrated with the Green Bus Service. “Both BRT Services have their own ticketing system,” said the Transport Minister.

In May, the Sindh government renamed the Orange Line BRT project after the late philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi as the Abdul Sattar Edhi Line.
