The Chief Minister of Punjab gave approval for these buses during a special meeting held to assess the progress of mass transit projects in Gujranwala and Faisalabad. She also instructed officials to speed up construction and renovation work on metro bus stations and approved updated design plans.
During the meeting, it was revealed that over 125,000 passengers have already benefited from the government’s free transport program across 21 routes, with more than 3,560 bus trips completed so far.
Authorities shared that 100 electric buses are expected to arrive within the current month, followed by 350 buses by mid-May and another 264 by the end of June.
It was further decided that dedicated depots for electric buses will be established in every division of the province. The Chief Minister also requested a detailed plan to expand the service to 1,500 electric buses at the tehsil level.
