Islamabad has expanded its electric bus fleet by adding eight more vehicles, bringing the total to 30 out of the intended 160. By Thursday, an additional 22 electric buses will be incorporated, further enhancing this green initiative.
A dedicated charging station has been established at the Jinnah Convention Center to support the new buses, ensuring efficient and reliable operations of the electric fleet.
Initially, the 30 buses will serve two primary routes:
- NUST Orange Line Depot (G-11) to PIMS Hospital:
- Stops: G-11 Markaz, G-10 Markaz, G-9 Markaz, G-8 Markaz, and PIMS Hospital

These electric buses will operate daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, providing a reliable and eco-friendly transportation option for Islamabad’s residents.
Under the guidance of the Chairman of the Capital Development Authority (CDA), a subsidy program is being developed to make the service more accessible.
This program will benefit deserving individuals, including disabled persons, students, and other eligible groups, ensuring inclusive transportation for everyone.
