Faisalabad is all set to join Punjab’s Green Initiative with the arrival of 30 modern electric buses. According to district administration officials, the eco-friendly fleet will begin operations this week across seven designated routes, marking a major milestone in the city’s public transport system.
Bus Depots Under Development
To support the new service, three bus depots are being established at:
-
Ghulam Muhammad Abad
-
Sargodha Road
-
Gutwala Road
These depots will serve as operational hubs for maintenance, charging, and fleet management. Officials confirmed that the project will be formally inaugurated by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz in the coming days.
Affordable and Accessible for All
Authorities highlighted that the new system is designed to be affordable, reliable, and inclusive. The buses will offer low fares, making daily commutes easier for:
-
Students, who often face transport difficulties in the city
-
Elderly citizens, who will benefit from safer and more accessible travel options
Tackling Traffic and Pollution
Faisalabad has long struggled with chronic congestion and poor air quality. Officials stressed that introducing electric buses will:
-
Ease the city’s growing traffic burden
-
Reduce dependence on fossil fuels
-
Cut down urban air pollution levels
This aligns with Punjab’s wider efforts to promote green and sustainable urban transport.
Part of Punjab’s Broader Green Initiative
The electric bus project in Faisalabad follows similar initiatives launched in Lahore and other cities. The government has pledged to expand eco-friendly transport systems to urban centers across the province in order to provide cleaner, safer, and smarter mobility solutions.
Looking Ahead
With the launch scheduled for later this week, residents of Faisalabad are hopeful that the electric buses will not only improve daily commuting but also bring long-term benefits for the environment and public health
