Faisalabad has received its first fleet of 30 electric buses as part of Punjab government’s green Initiative to reduce environmental pollution and provide most modern, safe and affordable transport facilities to the masses.

A spokesman for the district administration said here on Sunday that the service which will operate on seven designated routes is expected to be formally inaugurated in the coming days by Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Maryam Nawaz.

He said that bus depots have been established at Ghulam Muhammad Abad, Sargodha Road and Gattwala Road to facilitate smooth operations.

Initially, 30 buses have arrived in Faisalabad to mark the beginning of a major transformation in public transport system of the city, he added.

He further said that introduction of electric buses would not only improve the quality of public transportation but also significantly cut down fuel expenses while promoting an environment-friendly mode of travel.
