The Punjab government is starting a major project to improve public transport by introducing 600 electric buses and setting up 2,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the first phase.
This plan is designed to make travel more eco-friendly and modern across the province. By using electric vehicles, the government aims to reduce pollution, cut fuel costs, and offer better services to the public.
Chief Secretary Zahid Akhtar Zaman has instructed local authorities to begin preparations right away. He has asked them to find the best spots for building the charging stations to make sure they are easily accessible and efficient.
The introduction of electric buses is expected to improve air quality, provide safer and quieter travel, and support the global push for cleaner energy. It also reflects a strong commitment to lowering the environmental impact of public transport.
This project is part of a wider plan to upgrade public services, protect the environment, and make life easier for the people of Punjab. As fuel prices continue to rise and climate change becomes a bigger concern, electric transport offers a smart and sustainable solution.
Officials have said that this is just the first step. More buses and charging stations will be added in future phases to expand the service to more areas.
By investing in green technology and better infrastructure, the Punjab government is working toward a cleaner, healthier, and more modern transportation system that benefits both the people and the planet.
